HI, If you want the DOS program for the internet e-mail with the
capabilities of the better old QWK mail readers, you want Net-Tamer. With
the addition of Chuck Hallenbeck's tagline management utility, it supports
and easily handles huge tagline databases. I have one with 15,000
taglines in it, about a thousand of which are two-liners.
If you temporarily rename your "mailbag" file to something other than
mail.dlu it will use the sort parameters you specify for newsgroups to
sort the messages by subject, author, time and date, or no sort. Then
rename it to its original name. This is the closest I've seen. Net-Tamer
has its quirks, but once you do a little of that hated RTFM thing, and
then get used to the program's operating parameters, it does more things
better than any of the alternatives, like Yarn, and several other such
programs.
Check out the latest version along with some third-party utility links at:
http://www.nettamer.net/tamer.html
and then get Hallenbeck's addressbook and tagline manager utilities from:
http://www.mhonline.net/~chuckh/software.html
and read the net-tamer documentation file carefully. Setting the program
up to work with your internet provider might be the most difficult part of
the process, and that's not bad, as internet programs go.
