   I'm pretty sure the route_to is for netmail, not echomail.  I've already told   
   sbbsecho my uplink for echomail and when tossed it creates a PKT and a .CLO. If   
   indeed I am right, then any nodelisted address I put in the netmail, a .MSG   
   will be created, then fidoout will look at the To: address and create a .CUT   
   using the hex address for the actual node it's going to.  Binkd reads that cut   
   and dials that node directly.  Why route it if you can do it direct.  Now with   
   whispernet and micronet, being I haven't compiled a nodelist binkd can   
   understand, I have to route through my hubs.   
      
   That's the way I see it. Again, I maybe wrong but so far every netmail I have   
   sent has gone direct and all my echomail is going to Janis and Björn properly.
