   Hi Ross,   
      
   On 2014-04-20 18:32:22, you wrote to me:

   You haven't answered this?

   I never heard of such a case, but I don't think many people use fastecho   
   concurrently with fmail on the same message base. ;)   
      
   But to be able to do anything with this, I will have to reproduce it, which   
   means I need some message base files from before the switch to fmail, your   
   fmail config files, and an example pkt file to toss with fmail, which causes   
   the symptoms. Would that be possible at all? But I'm wondering would it be   
   worth the trouble, considering the rarity of the use-case.   
      
    RC> It would be nice if the setup program was win32,   
      
   Indeed it would. ;)   
      
    RC> and had a more logical flow to it likefastechoes or even RA's..   
      
   You should be more specific on what you definition of logical is in this case.   
   ) I don't know what fastechos or RA's config program looks like.   
   But I don't think I'm gonna do a complete make-over of how fsetup works   
   anyway, the current userbase is used to how things work. But of course that   
   doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement on some of the specifics...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
