  • MultiMail v0.49

    From Leslie Given@1:275/92 to All on Wed Dec 30 20:06:39 2015
    I've noticed that multimail has problems uncommpressing QWK archive that have used z7 zip packets (the error is unknownUncompressCommand: xxuncompress). But when I download a QWK from a board using info-zip it works just fine.

    what are the first 8 bytes of those troublesome archives?

    that's what i was looking for... my thought was that multimail might have a way
    to set the archiver based on the majik bytes like some other software has... glad to hear that it got fixed for you... hope you have a happy new year, too...
