  • Bluemail Linux cannot open Area Config File

    From Sean Rima@2:263/1 to All on Sun Feb 9 14:23:20 2025
    Folks

    ok, I am coming in with a weird one today. I used the Bluemail QWK/Bluewave reader with BBBS under windows and it could read the area config file

    This was some time ago as I switched full time to linux and mac. It seems to open it but for whatever reason, doesn't get any areas. I like bluemail over multimail and if I could read the bbbs areas again, I would be happy.

    I have compiled it on my Mac after fixing a few issues and on my Pi ok.

    Anyone using it or want to browse the code

    I created a github for it at https://github.com/thecivvie/bluemail This is the last version 1.4 that Ingo Brueckl released as far as I know.
