    .. But there's already options that work well for those who used
    desktop or laptop PCs as their primary or even only messaging device
    - Can anyone say "point system? For me, that's a no brainer :) ).
    But nothing really well suited to people who have multiple devices,
    some PCs, some mobile.

    The closest thing that works for me is using the nntp approach. I can
    work with
    messages at either my desktop or laptop. Most of the time those machines are never in the same location.

    What's the difference between nntp and a point set up or telnet/qwk?

    Any one of those can be used from multiple devices in multiple locations.

    So what draws you to one over the others?
    But the method lacks the ability to:

    [1] save a reply-in-progress at one device, and resume with it at
    another device before actually sending it off.

    [2] mark/tag messages for reply at one device, and see the same mark/tag at another device.

    Is that the ability you wanted?

    Other than using an OLMR with the packets on a portable storage device of
    some sort, or saving a draft on a BBS whike ysing Telnet, I don't think any option lets yoy do those.
