Julian,

It is very nice for handling both mailing-lists and news-groups on your local computer. Same interface, same look, same feel. IMHO, MD-II is the best mailer/newsreader there is... well, except for the few lingering bugs. > Presuming you are correct, in what you wrote, if a person > were to use MD-2, that person would not need YAM, or any other > such program. Am I correct, in this? That is correct. I do not have Yam here. Not needed in the least; particularly so, since MD has excellent account handling. >If I am correct, then > why are so many users of Voyager, which is a Vapor product, > use YAM, which is not? One word: FREE. Yam is free, MD is not Free. This interferes with some V� fans using MD as their mailer. I got the NetConnect packages (upgraded them as they went along), because I felt the support was easier to deal with, and that it was a great value. I wonder what the ratio is of MD users to MD users who bought NC? Hmmm... I wonder if Ollie/Zapek/Matt could be convinced to (at the next pay-for upgrade of V) to sell a package deal. Not a NetConnect clone, but a nice collection of three or four of the Vapor products.. Maybe even several "levels" Like, Basic (browser only), Silver (V and MD-II), and Gold (V, MD, AmIRC, Xarc). <rubs crystal ball>I see that this will have to wait until MorphOS has a full release</rubbing> 8-) -- -- Regards, Dave 'Targhan' Crawford
