   Hi Paul,   
      
   On 2018-11-29 22:36:16, you wrote to me:   
      
    PH> What is the latest version and where can it be obtained?   
      
    PH> I looked at SF but am not sure that is the most recent one?   
      
   That's currently the latest release. Sometimes there are newer development   
   versions, but they aren't published.   
      
    PH> Do you know if tools that look at JAM bases created by Fastecho would   
    PH> also work on JAM bases created by Fmail?   
      
   JAM is a standardized public format. There are no opperational issues between   
   golded and fmail on jam messagebases afaik, for instance.   
      
   There once was a report of someone that went from fastecho to fmail and back   
   to fastecho, where there was an issue with jam on the second step. But I don't   
   remember the details, and if it was investigated and or resolved or not...   
      
    PH> Can I just import/migrate current JAM bases used in Fastecho across to   
    PH> Fmail?   
      
   You should. But it doesn't hurt to have backups. ;)   
      
    PH> Is there zone stripping of seen-bys?   
      
   No.   
      
   (However you can configure "Tiny Seenbys" for each area and/or each node, if   
   you choose so. Should be off by default.)   
      
    PH> Can netmail please be handled by Fmail using a JAM base, please :)   
      
   Not yet. ;)   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
