I guess I need to download and see for myself, but when you run newslinkand
the messages go into the different areas, can you .qwk download them toread
in multimail?
Or am I limited to go through the news interface on the webserver to read the usenet messages? I mean, I have tbird, I don't have to go through the BBS, but I think it's a cool dealio.

Do I need to make them qwk in the configuration.

IIRC, for multimail, you download a .qwk packet then navigate to that packet within multimail, once you have replied to any messages it will create a .rep which you need to upload to the board ... it is an old school program, certainly there are more modern inplications, Do I need

No, the QWK in the area setup is for QWK networking. That only needs to be set if you're feeding other boards via QWK (i.e. gating from NNTP to QWK
vice versa). It's NOT required for users to access areas using a QWK reader.

Either you misunderstood his question or my answer. I use MM at times, but it does not have a function to log onto an nntp or BBS, you need to download a qwk packet manually and point MM to it's location, and when you post/reply it generates a .rep which you need to manually upload by some means other than multimail
(yes you are correct, SBBS automagically assigns qwk dynamic fast allocation to each message area and sub, and like every other message
area a user can set message scans and such)
an NNTP news reader like he uses, or Claws Mail that I use at times on
my RPi does login up/down load qwk/rep as does the web ui for SBBS but multimail requires manual up/down using a telnet/ssh or other login

I guess I did not phrase my question correctly. I log onto my bbs and download a .qwk packet. Then read messages offline. I didn't know if I needed to set up the newgroup areas as a qwk also on the bbs to be able
to read them in multi mail.
You did answer another question though and that was to set the
newsgroup areas as either static or dynamic (thanks!)
I was just trying to see if I could read and reply to all messages on
my board from one place (MM)
I don't have any yet that have been tossed into the bbs. Don't know if Synch connected to my newslink or not. I was watching the Astros last night, and so I'll ahve to see tonight.

Well, once you have news articles coming in, enjoy. :)

So, if it is a newsgroup your BBS is receiving by NNTP, you should be
able to participate as a user using QWK offline readers without setting the QWK networking to Y.
I believe that areas are QWK download/upload for users by default on synchronet. You do not need to turn the QWK networking on for that
area unless you also plan to share it with other boards via QWK.

Cool. That is what I was needing to know.
Newslink.js and .cfg brings them in and processes them into the areas.
I can qwk download them and read and reply offline via multi mail
