Hey All,
I'm looking to setup an offline mail reader like Multimail... there doesn't seem to be a lot docs on the subject... but, from what I found
it seems like you need to setup a gateway and then you can use that
pretty readily.
For Mystic/rpi are there any goods choices for gateway software? Is
this a fairly easy or difficult process? Is it worth the hassle? TIA

The BBS side is built into Mystic.

I have not used Multimail so can't advise much about the setup.

Are you asking how can I use Mystic to supply my offline reader with QWK packets to read / reply to?

hmmm... I see some arcane references to using it in the mystic wiki,
and that others are successfully doing it, but nothing about how...
Are you aware of any good references for a starting place? I don't know enough about the protocols to make any educated guesses yet.
I did find some references to hooking mystic .dat files directly... meaning Multimail would need to be installed on the same system as Mystic... is that how it is supposed to be done or through QWK/QWKE,
Soup, Blue Wave?

Ei8ther you're thinking about something different to normal offline
mail, or simply overthinking things. :) Maybe you need to explain yourself, if the following down't work.
I'm assuming (through your use of non standard language), that you're wanting to use Multimail as an ordinary user to read your mail offline. By "ordinary user", I am including the sysop account - any account where you can download new mail, read and compose offline, then upload a .REP packet.

By default, offline mail can be accessed from an offline menu, which is
in turned accessed from the messages menu. From the offline menu, you
can select what echos to download, select other QWK packet options, as well as download and upload mail using X/Y/Xmodem.
Don't know anything about a "gateway", should just be able to go to the QWK options on mystic, and download your QWK packet and then upload your REP packets.
