Hello Martin,

 MF>>> The problem here is that the "@" preceeding the domain is hard-coded.
 MF>>> If the user doesn't specify a domain, WinPoint's mailer will transmit
 MF>>> "<zone>:<net>/<node>.<point>@", which is an invalid address.

 AA>> The Extra/Options/Uplinks:FidostyleUplinks seems to be the item
 AA>> intended for the part after the @.  Maybe it is also a way to
 AA>> differentiate from othernets?

 MF> Yes, that's its exact purpose and maybe this is one of the reasons why
 MF> WinPoint  can't handle my hybrid setup?

So.. it looks like WinPoint is limited to uplinks that support 5D only (except
for mbcico(MBSE)?   Are you experimenting with all the other "Fido Over IP"
options in WinPoint?

Is there a specific NL entry that indicates 5D systems?


 MF> I'm not so sure about a compatibility list but I'd already planned on

 MF> working on.

This is really good of you to reveal the details/problems.

In another matter..

I wish there was a way to M)ark or T)ag a message for later reading/replying. 
I don't always feel like replying to a message that I am currently reading, but
 I'd like it to stand out so that I can find those messages later.  Thunderbird
 has that feature hands-down.
