In my experience, with the Win95 setup, the SET MAILER and SET POP
statements are unecessary. The SET HOME and SET NNTPSERVER variables,
though, must be set, as James outlined above. In my case, the MAILER
and POP variables are the same (shoga.wwa.com). However, if you are
not sure, it would be a good idea to check with tech support at your
ISP or BBS. Anyway, I include the MAILER and POP variables in the BAT
file that I use to run Souper95. If you, or anyone else, is/are
interested, I can either post or send you my BAT file, as an example.

Thanks, James (2?) :)... Speaking for myself, I take that as a compliment.
We just like to help.
