Yes, that. In those days, I was a member of a BBS system that had internet
access and provided internet email addresses to its users, and I was using
a DOS-based program called SLMR (Silly Little Mail Reader) to read
downloaded QWK packets, which the BBS would generate on request from all of
the message sections and your personal email account.
