>I dug out an old free app/utility called SharkPost v1.0. It'll let me load as many sets of files as I want, each with their own subject line. Great. Just what I wanted! It even saves posts to a History file. The trouble is, it has so many enforced limitations, designed to avoid problems with older servers/software, that it's almost unusable now.
>Certain characters, such as /[]() will not be accepted. Then there's a limit to how long the subject line can be. Once you've gone to all the trouble of tweaking all the filenames to avoid these limitations, you can still fall foul of the upper character limit of subject line, plus file name. In these cases, you aren't warned. You just look up to find that Sharkpost has crashed.

>SharkPost has given me so much trouble today, as evidenced by my having to post the par2 files for one album separately with Easy Post, that It's cost me more time than it's saved.
