  • QWK Reader and editor

    From BRoKeNMiND@VERT/TIABBS to All on Fri Oct 31 14:02:44 2025
    Is there any software out there for windows that acts like a edtior like outlook when writing a email but can be used to read and reply to qwk. I have looked around and i really have not found any expect for linux.

    connect to the bbs via nntp with an email client. then you can pretend
    you're sending emails.

    Synchronet supports IMAP, if you found a BBS that supported it for users
    you could use any IMAP client (like Outlook) to read and post.

    I suppose a sysop could expose their message areas via NNTP as well.

    Maybe I'll make one :). Was thinking about that - having an UI client. MultiMail feels a bit slow IMO. Will put in on the todo list maybe in the christmas holidays.

    Any ideas/requests? Beside "read qwk".
