Nailed it. Back in dial-up days and limited time/nodes downloading messagesI never understood MultiMail or other mailers. They take away from
the BBS experience. The SysOPs must think I'm nuts for staying online
reading messages. lol
When there are so many message bases, offline mail seems rational.
These days, when BBSes are available via the internet and have many nodes an offer a lot of online time, I don't think it matters a whole lot.

I prefer the offline experience. I find the interface more useful, and I'm also isolated from any network slowdowns (though normally insignificant on a BBS) or dropouts.
