AT&T DSL began giving me troubles - called Service - Serviceman suggested me to
cancel DSL and get Fiber internet- tried Fiber, didn't work here either -
cancelled Fiber.
Some time later another person I know was using Cricket so I visited a store
and began using their phone/internet service 

I was surprised when I did a Speed Test and the website showed my I.P. Address
was with AT&T.
At least I was paying less for phone/internet than I had been on the L/L
account 

I started using SLMR but switched to MultiMail DOS when I noticed long messages
got cut off after IIRC 153 lines, PLUS long Taglines got cut off too when saved
to the TAGLINE.MR file.

I had noticed the long length messages and long Taglines were in post by users
who used MultiMail, so I d/l MultiMail DOS , tried it out and stuck with it.

I am 'thinking' when I used SLMR it had a option to Paste the Clipboard into a
message.
SLMR used EDIT as a message editor and I learned that I could Open another
session of EDIT , Write or Paste something from Notepad I copied from, and
paste it in the second copy of EDIT, do what I wanted to modify and add to it,
then highlight and Copy what I wished to Paste in the SLMR EDIT window and Save
that contents so SLMR could put it in a .REP file.

I do the same with MultiMail DOS and also on occasion when needed with
MultiMail Windows 
I don't know if I wrote more than 153 lines so I will quit my Advertisment.
