MJ>>> I want to show off the fact that I am running a frontend mailer.

ML>> at best, maybe 1% would even notice or care and that's being quite generous with the eWAG...

MJ> People pay more attention to what differentiates BBS's than you think.

some do, many do not... i remember quite a few complaining about having to hit escape twice... i generally told them to just wait and let the mailer time out and it would pass them to the BBS anyway... hitting escape twice was
simply a quicker signal that it was a user connecting and the mailer didn't need to spend time trying to detect different mailer protocols...

MJ> Just look at all the people who read tear lines for example.

most do that to see what software was used to create the message... that and signaling the end of the message is their purpose...
