I've not looked into this recently, does it support JAM yet? I'm looking for something to switch from IREX and gecho/fastecho.

No, D'Bridge still only supports Hudson (QuickBBS) Message Base, GoldBase (the expanded version of HMB in the more recent versions of QuickBBS) or Fido *.MSG.

It is an unbelievable huge royal pain to add Just Another Mess.

So why do it? Probably no-one will ever use it...

It appears there is interest in the BBS community; otherwise the question would not have been asked. I know that I wouldn't mind testing it as a means of avoiding the known bugs in FastEcho that probably will never be fixed.

My view on this ... such message-bases came into existence in the days of limited disc-space to save space.

Those days are gone and while *.msg generates overhead ... who cares ... ?
I never understood why anyone want a storage system which could collapse and make'm lose the entire message base instead of just 1 or 2 messages...

To me it's a case of measuring penises.

Finally I found someone that can add it into RG as well. hahahahah

For a time I was getting Netmails from at least a dozen Sysops about it, mostly Mystic Sysops who wanted a "real mailer" over what comes out of the box with that software.

It started off very straightforward but the 10% that is missing is the code for the D'Bridge editor when it comes to editing/changing/moving messages, etc.... things that are not exactly straightforward as it seems a record in a database must be deleted, along with its indexes then created again.... all the threading and linking must match perfectly...... kludge-lines stored seperately for some inexplicable JoHo-disciple reason.... Just A Mess.

I must be very careful what I say because there are at least two Professors
who may chime-in and ask me why I just don't use an API or library unit to do this, as if I just got my Pascal compiler yesterday.

As sure as I am that someone will need to completely gut the RG code to redo personal mail, purging/packing bases, editing/changing a message... etc.
