Hello friends,
I´m looking for a offline-reader for Synchronet 3.16c, because I want to read the mails :-)
what should I take?
If the BBS you are using is exposing NNTP and offline newsgroups read could do like Thunderbird for example.
That would work, provided you only use one device to read the newsgroups. The trouble with NNTP is that lastread pointers are stored on the client side, so once you use multiple devices, or switch from NNTP to another mode of access, you are likely to end up going over the same messages again, unless you take care to synchronise when switching from one to the other, which can be time consuming to do.
I prefer to use QWK for offline BBS access. Bluewave would be even better, as it's a superior format, but not all BBS software supports that format (Mystic and Synchronet don't).
For a reader, I use Multimail, because it's available native on Windows, Mac and Linux.
... When it come to giving, some people stop at nothing.
