Compuserve

A forum could only hold so many, and the oldest were flushed. So an emulation would need to pick a moment in time to emulate. In today's interface style, I'd say you'd want to be able to search it all, then view a message in context with the rest of its thread. Not that simple. After you'd navigated to the email area and asked to display a particular waiting message, it only showed date / from / subject at the top, and at least in 1995, it actually put the "Distribution: To: John Foust - Syndesis Corporation > [76004,1763]" at the bottom after the message! For Internet gateway'd email, it showed the full message as is, with the raw headers and/or "Content-type:" and left you to figure it out on your own. - John
