- Well.. I finally found out what I was doing wrong in trying to retrieve HELLDIVER.
- (Not including the entire path name... Silly boy!)
-
- And, once installed I found it both usefull and quite anoying!
-
- Obviously thas is an invaluable tool.. I will be using it almost exclusively from
- now on.... BUT (there is always a big "but" in there somewhere)...
-
- Here are my suggestions for improvement.
-
- 1) Make the sort by subject optional.. I would like to be able to read news as it
- comes in, as well as have the option of reading it by subject.
-
- 2) If there is new mail, and you read it, but there is no news (or no change to
- a newsrc/join file, HELLDIVER does not seem to be changing the status of that
- particular MAIL item as read.. Maybe that is not a function of HELLDIVER as it
- stands.. But I would like to be able to distinguish between new mail and mail
- I have read without having to delete it. (like Waffle does). If this is possible,
- someone please correct me and tell me what I am missing.
-
- 3) The FLASH of Hsend as it queues a message is rather bothersome.. Is there a way
- to take care of that.. (??? anyone found a way ???)
-
- Other than that, it seems to be a full and robust program.. Congrats... You have done
- a great job!
