    There's a New Zealand Facebook group I posted to a few
    times about how BBSing was still active and inviting folks
    to sample it again via Agency BBS etc. etc. and the
    reaction was almost zero :(

    What I found was that the group was really made up of
    folks who enjoyed the old face to face meetups of the 90s
    and had reconnected via social media. Their interest in
    the medium that had brought them together the first time
    around was seemingly absent. Sadly.

    Maybe they didn't quite have the simple means to reconnect
    with their modern pcs?

    Even now, maybe the requirement for using a terminal program
    probably falls on deaf ears and is an extra layer to
    implement. Besides, the FB users are probably happy with the
    web way of doing things, that's why they're on FB. ???

    4/10. It looks like part of an address from the kludge lines.

    But note when I import the exported text I saved with kludges there is a niggle/gap in the SEEN-BY... I didn't see that when I first looked at the message via the editor.

    [time passes]

    Yeah it looks different when looking at it in the message reader, I'll try
    and copy / paste it in.

    Looking at my copy at 1/101 I don't see it

    I can't see it either within Mystic. It was just when I viewed it via the
    NNTP server, with Claws Mail. It will show up at the top of some of the messages.

    Looking at your post, (I won't try to quote it all) it looks like there was something happening between 3/100 and 4/100 on both of them. I'll take a look at the message kludge lines here as well, but they will probably look the
    same.
