here is the Admirals response to my own smart ***, hopefully we can get everything working together, so maybe if there are new features planed for the helper, we can pool development efforts to get the most out of the game:

>ah.. also, the guys in the PBEM Helper thread over on the INTEL FORUM

>way I see it, the automated host will generate and send all files

Yes, in fact, that's exactly what would happen. I've added this to the
to-do list as well.

All I'd need to do is two things:

1) Make the server send the e-mail in the same format as the PBEM helper
2) Make the server accept e-mails from the PBEM helper in the appropriate
format

You may want to let them know that the server will grow in this fashion
anyway, and that it might be good to pool efforts.

Thanks for the criticism and suggestions,

Doug

edit> of course, this would be pending cooperation between pbem helper and pbw. hopefully we can get both going together so Users on the front end could use the helper to manage the files they are sending/recieving from the server.

im sure everyone involved would benefit from cooperating and being friends...
