- Silver Xpress OPX Mail Packets Type
-
- With this option, you can select the mail packet format called OPX.
-
- OPX is a powerful mail format, invented by Santronics Software in 1988,
- as a better alternative to the extremely primitive QWK mail format.
-
- OPX is the classic Silver Xpress Mail Format. It is very powerful and
- offers more mail processing capabilities such as 100% Fido capability
- including netmail, echomail, faxing and forms, longer TO, FROM and
- SUBJECT fields, larger MAIL creation, interactive offline configuration
- and much more.
-
- If you have the Silver Xpress Mail Reader, select the OPX mail format.
- You may also use the Silver Xpress Mail Reader for QWK mail packets
- created by other QWK mail systems as well.

- Silver Xpress QWK Mail Packets Type
-
- With this option, you can select the mail packet format called QWK
- invented by SparkWare.
-
- QWK started on PCBOARD systems as a very primitive mail format for
- off-line reading. It is NOT compatible with FIDO mail. It has short
- TO, FROM, and SUBJECT fields and quite often these fields are truncated.
-
- QWK is a primitive mail format, but is very popular because it is a
- simple and it is a free, public domain format. Thus you will see QWK
- on many BBS systems.
-
- As an alternative to QWK, you should try the Silver Xpress OPX mail
- format. OPX is very powerful and offers more mail processing
- capabilities such as netmail, faxing and forms, etc.
