  • Good Offline QWK Reader Recommendations?

    From Wang Bu@VERT/JACOBCAT to All on Mon Oct 13 10:19:45 2025
    Hi all!

    I wonder if you have good QWK Reader recommendations that works on Windows 11? Back then I used Blue Wave and Silver Xpress but I guess they won't be working with newer PCs now.

    Thanks!

    MultiMail still works, I use it once in awhile.

    I'm using MultiMail to do my QWK processing. It works with either
    Windows Notepad or another editor you specify.

    MultiMail works in a Windows 11 console, I'm using it now. I combine it
    with TSE, a good console editor, and it feels like my old 1990s DOS
    offline reader environment.
