I think I used to use AmiQWK when I was on FidoNET. I have a registered copy
of it around here somewhere, anyway. I ran a BBS (TransAmiga w/Trapdoor) and
was at one point actually the Net Coordinator for the town I lived in. I
rarely used TransAmiga's messaging features, it was much easier to use a
direct reader. That was nine years ago, and darned if I can remember the name
of that program :)

Sounds more like the Pack/Purge command. That was a feature of the database.
MicroDot appears to have the same feature. I can see all the emails I've
already read, until I do Cleanup Database.

It's still a little rough around the edges, but I like it. Truthfully, I
think a major reason I registered MD2 was because it was so easy to register.
Later!
