 NI> Adding a built-in telnet client to SlyMail, with the ability to download files, seems like it could be a big task.  I don't think SlyMail would be a worthless tool, as you could still use SlyMail for its offline QWK reader capabilities - That's what it is first, and I figured the built-in functionality to download via FTP/SSH would be an added convenience.

 I'm replying to this with SlyMail.  not sure what the above quote will look like, as it doesn't wrap on screen.

 Couple suggestions:

 an option to only show areas with new mail.  and/or possibly highlight areas that have mail in the area list.

 There's definitely some cursor wonkyness related to the wordwrap line above.  If I put my cursor on the end of the 
line (it cuts off at "big tas")   the cursor shows up in the bottom right of the window.  if I try to edit though, 
the line splits. 


I also saw a blank message from you in this area from earlier today.  SlyMail showed it as a reply to some other 
message, but when I tried to turn on headers, it showed most everything was blank.  There was no "to" or "subject" 
listed either.   I wish I would have screenshotted it, but apparently I overwrote the qwk packet when I downloaded 
the one containing the message I'm replying to now.

Also, that's something MM does,  maybe when downloading a qwk packet, it can rename the older one (or the newer 
one)? 

Not sure if I'm being helpful or not :) None of these are complaints, just things I noticed.  So far, it's pretty 
kick-ass. I love the theming!
