Yes, as is CrashMail but it's not the choice of tosser that matters, it's the
choice of message base format that matters. After a mammoth testing session the
 other day, I make the following observations:

Tossers
-------
[1] hpt and CrashMail will both create JAM and *.MSG message bases.
[2] hpt will create a Squish message base, CrashMail will not.

SemPoint
--------
[1] Will not interpret a JAM message base correctly.
[2] Will not interpret a Squish message base correctly.
[3] Interprets a *.MSG message base correctly.

In the case of [1] and [2] above, SemPoint adds garbage on the line directly
below the origin line and does not show the first line of a message(s). The
first line is usually, but not always, a "greeting" line.

Support for external config files
---------------------------------
AREAS.BBS - crashes SemPoint.

GOLDED.CFG - SemPoint doesn't appear to do anything with it, i.e. no areas show
 up in SemPoint's area list.

SQUISH.CFG - SemPoint reads it and automatically sets up areas in SemPoint's
area list.

I think that just about covers it so far.

No way
