I have no idea.
Your message Dated 09-28-17 came in a .QWK packet I grabbed from the
BBS on 10-17-17 at 3:04 PM EDT.
That is a long time for a message to wander through Fido's Network
before getting to where I could see it.
I saw Your message just after I grabbed the .QWK packet but got
confused about the Date it was sent and about the Date that You saw
and wrote about.
In the mean time, while I was trying to think of how to write my Reply
to You, I noticed Mike Powell (This BBS's SysOp) and Paul Quinn have
already commented about Your message.
Here is what I found:
On 4-15-17, at 20:36 hours You wrote a Reply to a message that I wrote
with the Subject: New HDD for XP pc.
I (finally) found it by using MultiMail's Search Option and doing a
Full Text search for the Phrase - summer wheels.
I know that MultiMail includes a Color File that You Created, so You
probably have used MM's Search Option to Hunt for something, somewhere,
that You remember seeing in a message but can't remember which Packet
it came in.
In case You haven't used the Search Option, let me bore You a bit and
write what I learned. (maybe someone else didn't know about this???).
MM's Search will look through all of the .QWK files shown in MM DOS's
Opening Screen.
(MM's WIN version should probably have this Search Option too.)
Pressing the Slant Sign Key - [ / ] - starts the Option.
Next several types of Searches are offered, I selected - Full Text .
Then I Entered what I was Searching for, and pressed the Enter Key to
start the Search.
MultiMail looks through all of the .QWK files that are in the List.
It (MM) Stops looking and shows the first results of the Search when it
finds the Text I entered.
To continue Searching to see if any other Results show up, just press
the Period Key - [ . ] and the Search will continue to the last File
in MM's List.
It was just recently that I tried out MM's Search feature, and it blew
my mind when I saw how Quickly it looked through all of the .QWK Packet
files in the List.
