    I think Joe worked on WildMail

    I am always here. Some would say Troll, some will say not really.
    I spend most of my time in the shadows working away at code that
    was lost then found again and had to remember how the **&* works. :)

    Heh, been there, done that! :) Glad to see you lurking in the echo!

    So this will be my second implementation of the framework. Now I' rounded up as many drop file formats as I can find (don't have all
    them though) and will do my best to implement them all.

    So, if you have your own collection of the specs for various drop
    file types, I'm all ears and will gladly accept whatever you're
    willing to part with. Hint hint...

    I've already written the configuration program and am working on t program as we speak. There's too much to talk about at this point
    but it should be a fun project and am enjoying it so far.

    Cool. What would I need to do to get my hands on a fully functional ViaUUCP? Also, who developed WildMail, et al?

    First and foremost, I need a valid email address so I can send it to
    you. I don't remember if I took the keys out of ViaUUCP!, but if not, I
    can just make you one.

    As for Wildcat!, Derek Koopowitz wrote v1-3 of Wildmail! and for v3
    Eric Cozzi wrote the configuration/utility programs (there was no
    configuration program for earlier versions).

    For Wildmail! v4, I rewrote everything from scratch. Nothing could be
    reused because WC4 had an all new message database structure/design.
    Wildmail! v4 was the first decent sized program I had ever written with
    WMINFO being my first mid-size one.

    Of course, ViaMAIL! was all me. It's a huge program, nearly twice the
    size of Wildcat! (not counting all the ancillary ones).

    Regards,

    Joe Martin

    Cool. [email protected] should work now -- especially seeing that I
    am hosting it on a VPS.

    Interesting piece of history here! :)
