I'm using the DOS version of MultiMail, the Windows version of MM uses
Notepad.
I opened Notepad and tried entering a Alt Number and saw nothing show up
on the screen as You said it would.

I quit using SLMR when I learned that MM showed ALL of the lines in long
BBS messages.
I liked using SLMR but it doesn't display all of every BBS Message.
A 152 line message is O.K. with SLMR, anything the writer writes after that
isn't shown.
Does OLX end messages as SLMR does?
Didn't both Programs come from the same Company.
I also liked MM being able to save Taglines longer than 57 characters.
I noticed when I used SLMR that Taglines in messages longer than 57 had
the end of them cut off when I Added them to SLMR's TAGLINE.MR file.
I have had a problem using MM when Mike Powell sends a message to Me in
a local echo on His BBS.
I then use SLMR to read His message to me when I get a .QWK packet
containing one of those messages.
Otherwise I'm happy using MM, I occasionally use MM WIN when I want to
C&P some text into a message that I'm writing.
I've tried the Sempoint reader for awhile, but went back to using MM
(and SLMR occasionally) to read messages in .QWK packets.
