   ummm... FMail can simply look at the MSG and see that it is a FREQ... there's   
   a flag or bit setting for this... then FMail can ""pack"" the FREQ by creating   
   the REQ file and possibly associated ?LO file... the REQ file can have any   
   name but the BSO traditional format is to name it via the same o   
   tbound.xxx/yyyyzzzz format as already used... a ?LO file is required to at   
   least trigger the delivery of the REQ, though... binkd doesn't trigger on just   
   the REQ alone... if the REQ file is not named traditionally, it needs to be   
   referenced in the ?LO file like others... REQ files can simply be deleted   
   after they are sent... no need to truncate them... all of this would be   
   restricted to telling FMail that you are using a BSO mailer... it doesn't need   
   to be done for intelligent mailers...
