Hi Alan,
On <Thu, 09 May 19>, you wrote me:

I dunno.  I was looking for a "complete" Windows/program package for offline
reading to recommend to people. Adding a full program like MultiMail just for
packing is overkill.  Meanwhile, I misread SemPoint's BW packing. The
"packing" is done with common archivers.  So, what Sempoint actually does is
create the BW style message internally.

Of course!

I see that someone already responded and even sent you the program.  Just be
aware, that SemPoint appears to be 16bit/Win, but it works in my Win/XP test
setup just fine.

Thanks for the heads-up.  I'll drop by for a visit!
