- Manfredo,
- In lieu of V-Mail, you could try WFS. It also Mailing List Server support.
- It partially solves the multiple addressee problem, limited to 128 characters
- per addressee line; this is an MS-DOS limitation.
-
- WFS does not echo JOIN or other commands to users of the list.
-
- WFS is available by sending mail to: server@Birdsong.Suvl.CA.US
- with the message body:
-
- get \public\waffle\wfs203.zip
-
- Regards,
- larry.
