The Question of PBEM Helper

[Hedgehog]

The method I use for dealing with files, i have folder's on my Desktop connected to the games, when my post arrive's i then save them to the desktop and then slide them into the various folder's, that to me seem's pretty quick and easy.

So is the helper any better or ? That is the question

I don't use any pbem helper myself, I've been playing CM for 9 years and have never felt the need for any help even when i've had about 30 games on the go at the same time.
Perhaps it's because I'm an old fart who doesn't trust automated systems, I've seen enough sci-fi films to know robots sometimes blow gaskets, even Neil Armstrong took manual control during the final descent to the moon, ha ha!
That's why I like to do pbem 'hands on' myself so I know exactly where I am at all times, it's quick and easy enough to do..

You know, like you one of the old firm, I think our method does the job, and you know it is quick....:thumb:

PBEM Helper... does sound like something senior citizens would use to help get around the shopping mall ;-)

A tip for pbem players to smooth things along-- make your name part of your e-mail address if you can, so people know who you are when they see your mail sitting in their inbox.
For example my address has always been 'pooroldspike-at-aol-dotcom' and people can therefore see it and think "Oh sh*t it's that old fart again".

Is "thatoldfart@gmail" still available?

Just to show how easy PBEM helper is I've made this quick video.
