   Hello Wilfred,   
      
   On Monday November 11 2013 13:30, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV> Actually the doc already is right:   
      
   It is...   
    WV> I think I'm gonna write it like this:   
      
    WV> The syntax of FMail Pack:   
      
    WV>           FMail Pack [  ...   
    WV>                        [EXCEPT ]   
    WV>                        [VIA |HOST]   
    WV>                        [/A] [/C] [/H] [/I] [/L] [/O]   
    WV>                      ]   
      
    WV> That would be more clear.   
      
   But even more clear is what the on-line help says:   
      
   D:\IM\FMAIL>fmailw32 pack ?   
   FMail-W32-1.66 - The Fast Echomail Processor   
      
   Copyright (C) 1991-2013 by FMail Developers - All rights reserved   
      
   Usage:   
      
       FMail Pack [ [ ...] [VIA ] [/A] [/C] [/H] [/O] [/I] [/L]]   
      
   Here it is more clear that a list of nodenumbers may be enetered. (But the   
   on-line he;lp does not mention the EXCEPT keyword. So I suggest:   
      
      
              FMail Pack [  [...]   
                           [EXCEPT  [...]]   
                           [VIA |HOST]   
                           [/A] [/C] [/H] [/I] [/L] [/O]   
                         ]   
      
   Also... maybe I do not have the latest doc... but it says:   
      
   Five switches may be used:   
      
   /A        Do not process AreaMgr requests   
      
   /C        Include messages with Crash status. Normally these   
             messages will not be packed.   
      
   /H        Include messages with Hold status. Normally these   
             messages will not be packed.   
      
   /O        Include orphaned messages. Normally these messages will   
             not be packed.   
      
   /I        Only pack messages that are in transit. Normally all   
             netmail messages destined for other nodes will be   
             packed.   
      
   /L        Only pack messages that originated on your system.   
             Normally all netmail messages destined for other nodes   
             will be packed.   
      
   "Five", but I actually count six.   
      
      
    WV>  And maybe fmail should issue a warning when   
    WV> it finds an option (= illegal nodenumber) at the place where a node   
    WV> number should be... ;)   
      
   That would be a good idea...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
