    You know, it would be nice if the REPLYTO kludge was picked up when
    trying to reply to the message via netmail.

    I think that is your reader's or bbs's duty. ;)

    Are you editing within Mystic? Or.. can you launch something
    like GoldED?

    OpenXP uses the REPLYTO as expected.

    BTW.. any detailed chat about technical issues and kludges would
    be most welcome in FIDONET.TELEGRAM.

    PS. I didn't think anyone in fidonet would be up so early as
    you in your area. I had plenty of sleep over this weekend, but
    for some reason I've been up since 5am EST this morning. A
    first.

    It could be, I'm not blaming any program in particular. But if the REPLYTO kludge is required, it should be used.

    I'm replying within Mystic. I might look into other options later. Actually I'm sure that I will.

    OpenXP uses the REPLYTO as expected.

    Unfortunately, I don't think OpenXP is compatible with my setup. Or at least
    I haven'tt managed to get it to run yet.

    I'm subscribed there. I just need to figure out crossposting.

    Insomnia and habit. I've been waking up around 4am for years, regardless of when I go to sleep.

    I've resumed the above topic in FIDONET.TELEGRAM.

    Insomnia and habit. I've been waking up around 4am for
    years, regardless of when I go to sleep.

    I've grown fond of getting up before dawn and witness the
    gradual change to daylight. If feels that there is more time in
    the day that way; I like that. There is nothing much else to
    like.

    And while in the midst of the lockdown sanctioned in my province
    right now, I only operate the shop 11a-3p to the public. It
    feels great to get home before it gets dark. Sometimes I take a
    nap right away from 3:30p to 4p or 5p - and to wake up just
    before it starts to get dark.
