   Correct...   
      
   What attracted me to Fmail was it is win32.. after so many executions,   
   fastecho would stop scanning within the environment, I suspect because of   
   being 16 bit and calling command.com.... I would have to invoke fastecho   
   manually.

    WV> fmail, which causes the symptoms. Would that be possible at all? But

   Situation rendered moot, when I created a fresh message base.

   Are you familiar with Frontdoors setup program and its layout?
