I've been watching with mild interest the debate regarding offline mail
readers, in general, and the QWK format, in particular.  At times, the
discussion has gotten heated, at times it's gotten rather circular.

Some folks have suggested taking it to mail, while others have suggested
dropping it.  Here's one to consider, too...  How 'bout someone posting
an RFV (I think that's what it's called) for a new newsgroup called
(just a suggestion...)  comp.bbs.offline.reader (or something like that)?
Judging from the amount of discussion here, my bet is it'd be a winner.

No response necessary...  just making a suggestion...

Chris
