It is so.

This is true, but I do not see that as a drawback. You can use any
ascii file viewer to read the mail and you can use any text editor
to compose an original message or a reply.

Maybe this was true in the case of an old version. The current version
will encode/decode MIME and UUENCODED attachments automagically. I
know this to be a fact. I often use the current version.

It is easy to confuse the name NetMail Pro, a shareware program by
David Colston, with NetMail 2.12 for DOS, a freeware program by Marc
Ressl. I have used both. They are both very fine programs. One
very nice feature incorporated into NetMail 2.12 for DOS is that you
can enable a "flood control" feature to block email bombs, such as
very large spam messages.
