My pet peeve, shared by my play by email friends, is that once you finish your turn, the game exits to Windows. If you are the host and have just gotten a few turns sent in, you have to start all over again and run the next game. Then it shuts down and you have to restart before you play your turn. And so on. Not a big deal, but annoying. And no, PBW does not suit our arrangement, we like PBEM better.
You can use the LAN helper to host your PBEM games.
You point it to a folder and a game in it and it monitors the .plr files submitted there. Once you have all it needs to generate the next turn, it starts SE4 form command line and puff - the new turn is generated.
And yes, you can run several of them on one machine if you host several games.
