   It is a relic from the past. Fmail was originally designed in a FrontDoor like   
   environment. In a Frontdoor environment creating a file attach message makes   
   sense. The Frontdoor environment is also called AMA (Arc Mail Attach). Files   
   are always send as file attach. There is a message associated with every file   
   transfer.  Also with a file request.   
      
   In a BSO environment things work different. The mailer only knows about files.   
   It does not directly deal with messages, that is left to the tosser or packer.

    PQ> Nice.  Even at priority #99 it is still on 'the list'.  :)  Thank you.   
      
   Have you tried to manually create a *.req file. If you ever dealt with hex, it   
   shoukd not be hard...
