   I am pretty sure Synch uses a propriatary message base so I'm not sure HPT can   
   handle the tossing/packing part. I don't run a FLO mailer here so which   
   directory the netmail goes I'm unsure of.  If you're using GoldEd to create a   
   netmail then I can't see why Ssbbsecho even has to touch it. If I am in a hurry   
   I use FD's editor to create netmail.  Being I'm using *.MSG it gets saved   
   directly to my netmail folder where a SEM is created to tell my mailer and off   
   it goes.      
      
      
    JS> Further, when I try to enter a netmail message in SBBS it asks to enter   
    JS> a nodes address as   
    JS> n:nnn/nnn@fidonet. Which is ok. But if I were wanting to lets say send   
    JS> an areafix netmail   
    JS> message using SBBS. There doesn't seem to be an option to address it   
    JS> correctly. As in:   
      
    JS> From: Jeff Smith         1:282/1031   
      
    JS> To: Areafix              1:nnn/nnnn   
      
    JS> Subject:    
      
      
   Within Synch's editor or any 3rd party editor while logged in, on the To: line,   
   address it as such: areafix@1:nnn/nnnn   
      
   Sorry I couldn't help you much past that...   
      
   Good luck.
