I get the offline part, I'm also reading offline. I was wondering why QWK and/or BlueWave for offline reading instead of getting FTN packets through a binkp connection. You can even install Mystic and can read the mail in your local Mystic BBS (or some preferred BBS, point or FTN software).

I'm not saying you shouldn't use QWK or BlueWave, I'm just curious.
