                    Welcome to the Blue Wave Mail System!

    If you are a message enthusiast, whether it be Echomail, GroupMail, or
    just chatting on the local message bases, The Blue Wave Mail System is
    for you!

    The Blue Wave Mail System has quickly become the most user friendly
    and powerful mail system available.  Your sysop has chosen to run The
    Blue Wave Mail Door on his/her system for several reasons:

      1)  The Blue Wave Mail System allows you to dynamically build
          a custom mail packet from the BBS's message base.

      2)  After you have built your mail packet, you will download it
          using your communications program.  Then, when you log off of
          the system, you can use The Blue Wave Offline Mail Reader to
          read, reply, print, save to disk, and perform many other options
          with your messages.

      3)  If you have made replies with The Blue Wave Offline Mail Reader,
          you simply log back into this BBS, upload them through the door,
          and everything else is taken care of for you!

    In order to view mail packets created by the Blue Wave door, you
    will need to download the latest version of the reader from the
    download area of the BBS.  Look for the file name BWAVE*.ZIP on this
    BBS for the latest available version of The Blue Wave Offline Mail
    Reader.

    There is also a documentation file on using The Blue Wave Mail Door
    called BWDOOR.USE.  If you do not see it available on the BBS, please
    ask your sysop to let you download a copy.

    The SysOp has defined a default archiver (ZIP, ARC, LZH, PAK etc.) and a
    default protocol (Zmodem, Xmodem etc.) for you to use in the Blue Wave
    Door.  You will now be shown which protocol and which archiver the
    SysOp has selected.  If you do not wish to use the default settings,
    you may change them from the (C)onfiguration menu.

    You will be shown the Configuration menu after your default settings.
    Please use the (C)hoose Message Areas command to select your areas to
    download.

    Thank you for trying out the Blue Wave Mail System!
