SBBSECHO fails to see        JS> the netmail let alone toss and pack it out. Im using BinkD as a        JS> mailer. I am sure I am missing something simple.              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.
