sounds like you are commenting about the tags/quotes in the
signature area ;)
Were You able to get the help that You needed from the staff at
QRZ.COM ?
The "irrelevant" part might turn out to be Very Important for
somebody's future.
Does Your Email Service charge You by length of the messages You
RCVD?
Here or in a Ham Radio conference?

GA Ed,
On a slow boat to China comes your message dated above to me May 3rd.

I haven't tried yet because, before saving the relevant info, I have to first edit out all the irrelavant text.

It may be, but I don't like to be forced to read everything.

No, but it takes time to remove irrelevant text from a message that I would like to save and/or print out.
Here or in a Ham Radio conference?
Any echo mail conference, in our case related to HAM and Amateur Radio.

GE Ed,
I noticed the other day one of Your messages took some time arriving

After I upload any messages to the BBS, they are processed (sent) to my HOST, and I have no control over them.

I noticed the other day one of Your messages took some time arriving
here.
Your message came in the May 19, 2017 .QWK packet but I hadn't found
my ROUNDTUIT to answer until today the 21st.
I don't see any Routing information on message I read here.
I'm sure since You are a SysOp You see that info.
How many transfers did this one get before arriving at Your QTH? TKS
UR Welcome, at least I don't send my Email to You in HTML. ....

I counted the PATH: to 6. OTOH, there are two similar PATH: statements
at the end of the message. Normally there should be just one.

actually, like the seenbys, the path is generally wrapped at
something like 75 characters... if it is longer than that, you'll
get two path lines but they'll be in order starting with the first
one and continuing with the second and even third if the path is
that long...

GA Ed,
There must have been a hiccup somewhere, that has slowed the transfer.
I have noticed that many echoes are totally missing. I may receive only
a couple of the echoes I am subscribed to.

Well, I'm capable to read even that.

I wonder if You Unsubscribed the echo that are missing and then
Subscribed to them again that traffic in those echos might start up.

It's not a habit of mine to go around unsubscribing/subscribing echoes.
I have however sometime sent an Areafix containing the wanted echoes.

Yes.

Ah yes, I've read that B4, didn't myself experience that with XPpro.
As I'm not a BBS SysOp I didn't know of the Areafix command, all I
could think of was what I have tried in the past when echo messages
Either that or posting a message to myself.
As I wrote recently, this pc tries my patiences often.
The XP version on this pc is Media Center Edition 2005, and I am
thinking it is equal to the XP Pro verson.

Even as a user you do have these command at your disposal: Areafix, Areamgr, Arealink an Allfix.
When you join a Host, you normally fill in the choices you want to use, and the necessary passwords for commands like the above Area**** ones.
Either that or posting a message to myself.
Well, that's one way. Just holler and see if replies are coming.

The more surprising to me, is that you passed the free Win10 offer.

I don't know that version at all, sri.

Those are new terms to me as a BBS User.
Areafix, Areamgr, Arealink and Allfix.

All I know is when I want to start reading a new (to me) echo I
(J)oin the echo.
Probably if I Logged On using TELNET I could look around to see if I
could find those Areafix, Areamgr, Arealink and Allfix Commands and
learn something about them.
By 'Host' do You mean a BBS or Echo on the BBS?
The more surprising to me, is that you passed the free Win10 offer.
Usually I don't leap when I hear about something new to me.
SP3 is the last major update that it has on it.
I'll send a message to Him in that echo and tell Him that He is
missed here.
IOW, you have subscribed to the entire list of echoes!
To remove inactive echoes that you have subscribed to, you also use one
or the other of above programs.

they only apply to points and nodes, really... some systems may have something with similar names for their offline configuration stuffs but these two are for FTN point and node operators to use to configure
their mail feed at their links...

You don't have to have the programmes yourself, your BBS sysop has
them. To use any of them, you have to have a password that usually is agreed on with the BBS sysop when you set up an account with him (the BBS).
Maybe you have lost the file where all your settings with the sysop
are.
Probably if I Logged On using TELNET I could look around to see if I

Even as any user you can ask for the commands for the program your
sysop prefers, and the password required to use the commands.
By 'Host' do You mean a BBS or Echo on the BBS?
The Host is the BBS that delivers the areas you want to read/write in.
The more surprising to me, is that you passed the free Win10 offer.
Usually I don't leap when I hear about something new to me.
Neiher do I, but when I read/hear something is free, I take note.
SP3 is the last major update that it has on it.
Yes SP3 is last update to XP and newer ones will not be forthcoming.
To remove inactive echoes that you have subscribed to, you also use one
or the other of above programs.
Ed is not a point system, so he would not have access to any of the
area* commands here.
He is a user of the BBS, and I don't have any knowledge of how he
would even use those commands.
Maybe some systems allow that, but this one does not.

No, I haven't subscribed to all of the echoes on this BBS.
At least the last time I checked to see.
Mike Powell, the SysOp of this BBS has more than just the FIDO
echoes on this BBS.
There are at least five other BBS Networks that I can read their
messages.
GT_POWER, DoveNEt, MicroLink, IL-Net and FSX Net.
I'd just never remember seeing those b4.
Maybe you have lost the file where all your settings with the sysop

I never had that file, my settings are on Mikes BBS Machine, I just
connect - enter my password and use His BBS.
I just call a BBS a BBS, don't remember seeing the word Host to mean
a BBS. DUH!
I can understand downloading a file/program from a well known
Company, there are a lot of so called Free download offers from
others that might have a catch to it, like Malware - etc.
but being offered by Microsoft would seem to be something safe.....
Wcry changed that, didn't it?
