  • Support for attachments to Netmail

    I've noted that some boards allow you to send personal Netmail and add an attachment. You can send NetMail, and it will ask if you want to add an attachment, which you can which is received at the other end.

    On my Mystic trial board, I can't see such an option. Is it simply because it is not implemented? What would happen if you sent a message with an attachment and the recipient logged into a board which didn't support them?

    Just curious...

    Yeah, Mystic doesn't support file attaches. It might at some point but not today.

    If you did attach a file for a mystic BBS it would end up in the inbound at that BBS. If you were the sysop of that board that would not be a problem, you can just grab the file there.

    If it is for a user of a mystic board the sysop would have to make those files available to the user somehow, in a filebase directory perhaps.
