I have recently gotten and set up UFGATE, which is a news/mail package that
runs on the PC. Although it includes the translation software to go between
Usenet/UUCP and Fido, and a uucico(1) implimentation, it doesn't include a
message reader. Since I have no desire to set up an Opus BBS just to use the
message-reading portion of it, I'm looking for a Fido-compatable message
reader to use with UFGATE.
I've already tried Sirius, OverDrive, and MSGED. I never got Sirius to run
(probably because of lack of documentation, and because I didn't know how to
generate the proper config file), and I'm using MSGED now. However, I don't
like MSGED's interface, its editor, and just the way it works. Is there
another one out there?
Note: I need a message reader who's editor will allow the entry of a ^A
(ASCII 0x01) into a message. For some reason, UFGATE refuses to export a
message unless the first line starts with a "^AUUCP". The manual says "To:"
will also work, but I haven't gotten it to.

You can download a file called MSG.ARC from the Late Night Software BBS (415-695-0759). It is a basic Fido Style message reader/poster that will let you use your favorite editor. > Note: I need a message reader who's editor will allow the entry of a ^A > (ASCII 0x01) into a message.

You should be able to enter a "To: <bang or domain address>" on the first line and MAILOUT will handle it properly. You do not need to enter a ^A as the first char. Sorry if the manual was not clear on this. I will look into this and change the docs approriately.
