Does anyone know of some interesting titles of text editors
one could use with MultiMail for Windows for writing on
BBSs?

I'm curently using Notepad, which is quite ok and a bit fulfilling however I can't get the right margin to 76 -
no way to do this.

I've tried EditPad Lite but it freezes the MultiMail.

Something nifty and small, with a right margin setting
would be grately appreciated, although I know, I'm asking
too much.

Vista here.

You mean the plain old console version of Multimail? I prefer using old-fashioned console text editors like Qedit, TPE, or VDE. The last two are available on the net, Qedit was commercial. Opening an editor in the same window just seems more natural than spawning a new window, and it's the way I did things when I ran DOS on the box I did all my offline reading from.

Why, when I started BBSing, we didn't have any fancy editors -- we'd just type in COPY CON > COM1:. :)

OH no... not good...

be grately appreciated, although I know, I'm asking too much.

Ummm, you might just like SLME, I've used it here but right now I'm
using ezquote which worked fine under both Vista and Windows 7. I
don't believe that ezquote is still registerable but if you can pick
up a copy of the Silly little mail reader ( program's name ) that
editor is in the archive and it's freeware. :)

Thank you very much little lady. Very helpful. :-)

Nice writing BTW.
