        I'm not sure what the BSO is, but I agree (aparently) with 100% of what   
   you said he said.  In all the years I've been in fidonet, I've had my share   
   of mailer crashes, and other cases where the .CUT / .OUT file would get sent   
   out, the bundle file was supposed to be deleted, but wasn't, or some   
   screwball reason the packer got configured to truncate it.  I go cleaning up   
   the system a month or two later, and what do you know?  I've got these   
   bundles that aren't linked to any other files, and since the .CUT and .OUT   
   files no longer exist, the mailer will never go out.  Though at a time, I   
   used to have a really sharp plugin for FAR (File Area Manager) that would   
   allow you to view the packet and see who it was from (and node number), who   
   it was to (and node number), subject, and the text....
