Yep <g>.  Isn't that true of most of the code?  I know that's happened
with Snews, for example.

OK, so I can just slot my changes in and rebuild it (just checked, I do 
have BC++ 3.1 on this machine).

I have to be, since Demon don't have a phone access in Germany, so I
have to use POP3 to get at my mailboxes.  If DEmon had implemented the 
idea I remember being proposed (adding an X-POP3-Mailbox header) then
I could d/l everything for keris.dcu and then filter it, but that seems
to have died.

On my hard disk <g>.  I'm away in America from tomorrow until 1998.08.11,
I'll work on it while I'm away and tidy it up then upload it to my web
site when I get back.  At the moment it really is a hack (and produces
far too much stuff on the screen for debugging).

Hah!  I remember some other people saying that, and contributing far
more usefull stuff than me.

Yes, I tried compiling it but there seemed to be some of the posting source
missing (I think it was supposed to be in GremNOS or DNOS according to the
documentation) and I never got round to making it work.  I found that
mail2news will accept mail from keris.dcu even if I send it from Germany
so that's working and I found the POP3 stuff to be more important for me.
If you've got it working I'll be interested in testing it when I get back
(and converting SNews etc. to use it - my initial idea would be to have
a pre-KA9Q filter which did the conversion, but that's the way my mind works
<g>).

BTW, a bugette in YAN - often (not always) when I switch sessions (with TAB
for instance) it clears the screen - have you seen this?  It happens with
'raw' YAN 1.9 as well as with my rebuild.
