Hello Chris,

Pity. My personal opinion - note the word "personal" - is that
Winpoint having its own message base is a negative. It is a barrier in
going from point to full mode. If it were just using JAM, a widely
spread "standard" one could have the benefit of using a variety of
utilities written for JAM.

Then stop using OneDrive. What is the benfit of using storage in
the cloud for for a FidoNet message base anyway? And if one MUST use
the cloud, stay away from Microsoft I`d say...
Just keep the message base on a local HD. The required space is
neglegible compared to what is available these days.

Too bad indeed.
Another option would be to drop Winpoint and use Binkd, Famail and
Golded instead...
That way you would have a stepping stone to full node status as a bonus.

So... there you go. You have to start thinking for yourself...

Hmmm.. if you mess up the data base by mixing formats, a file on
OneDrive would be as easely corrupted as a file on local drive...
Cheers, Michiel
