It works for me!
Sh> Does Multi-Mail support Netmail in connection with Mystic?
Yes. Some improvements were made for netmail in QWK mode with Mystic were made
not too long ago. Various improvements in QWK were made. To send a netmail in a
QWK packet from a Mystic BBS you address the Message To: Someone@44:100/0 in a
netmail area. This was made to work the same way it works in Synchronet.

You may not have netmail access at the BBS you are trying to send from. Ask the
Sysop if you do or can have access to netmail.

Well it was not thought of when QWK was first developed but it can be made to
work. In the old days with Maximus BBS I used to enter a message in a netmail
area with the address on the first line of the message..
To: 44:100/0
and Maximus would address the netmail to that address and strip that line out of
the message. Netmail I recieved had the first line..
From: 44:100/0
Kludgy but it worked. It's simpler now in Mystic and Synchronet.
There is also QWK netmail. On a Synchronet BBS you can send netmail to someone
at their BBSs QWK ID. To send netmail to me you would send mail To: Al@TRMB.
TRMB is The Rusty MailBoxes QWK ID.
The Email in Mystic is also private although it doesn't travel any network. It
stays on the BBS.
Ttyl :-),
Al
... My spelling? Oh, it's just line noise.
