That's something that I would like to see in the Android options. More modular,
to use a different text editor or a tagline manager or things like that.
If I keep this up, I'm going to wind up planning an entire BBS solution system
for Android devices in my head.
Some of it seems relatively easy, if my programming abilities were up to speed.
Right now I've been finding whatever source codes I can to study and try to
figure out what is what.

I think I understand that now. It's not something that I've thought of before,
but it is interesting.

I always liked the offline mail format. But when I was using it, I never really
considered the technical aspects of it.
