- Mind you, Thor's a *multi* *format* mailer. This means that you will
- encounter some problems concerning some terms used on internet, FIDO and
- all the other BBS mail formats, that are not named the same but mean the
- same (more or less). All these terms need to be placed in one program
- without referring to other terms for other mail formats.
- I think that the Thor team has solved this problem very well.
-
- If I'm right, Thor's the first program that has all those mail formats in
- one. So if you're not happy how they solved it, how would YOU solve this?
- What are the standard (RFC's) or correct terms for this kind of programs
- then?
-
- You don't HAVE to use Thor. There are alternatives (it's not Windows) if
- you don't understand their terms.
-
- I'm sticking with Thor, and am sertainly not going to use separate programs
- any more to do all my mail (email/news, FIDO).
