what's special about Bluewave?

It supports netmail natively. You can do a netmail reply to an
echomail, you have an addressbook of FTN addresses.

Bluewave is a good format but if you want it you have to know where to
get it.
The great think about QWK is that you can get it just about anywhere offline mail is available.

Some old QWK implementations are a bit limited as far as what they can
do. Synchronet has an updated implementation. You can do email,
netmail (QWK or FTN), and echomail on a Synchronet BBS with an up to
date mail reader like MultiMail.

A great option for those who like the Bluewave standard is the
INDIGO program made by Peter Karlson. It converts .PKT <-> BW
packets by turning Bluewave into a Point FTN with all advantages of
Bluewave.

I haven't heard of that before but it sounds interesting. I'll go check that out.

If you have the PKTs, why not go directly into a system that
acts more like a database? OpenXP will accomplish that.

Read more about it and see screenshots:

https://openxp.kolico.ca

It will process the PKT files and generate appropriate message
areas on the fly ready to be read and re-read and stored or
accumulated as to how long you want to keep them.

I tried installing it, but it refused to cooperate on my XP
system. No matter, I was just interested to see what it looks
like in operation and some of it's features. Kudos to the
designer programmer that built such a thing back in the day.

However.. OpenXP is a much better reader's/writer's friend,
IMHO. It's still actively being supported and upgraded.
Windows and Linux versions are available.

I use OpenXP too. Is great.

The INDIGO only convert PKT files into BlueWave packets. Reading
and writing messages is on BlueWave offline reader. The main
features are in reader. INDIGO is only a converter.

However.. OpenXP is a much better reader's/writer's friend,
IMHO. It's still actively being supported and upgraded.
Windows and Linux versions are available.

I like OpenXP, but i like BlueWave more. :-)
