   Hi Ross,   
      
   On 2014-04-22 18:04:36, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV>>>> To start with, which version of FMail are you using?   
      
    WV>> You haven't answered this?   
      
    RC> FMail-W32-1.67.1.47   
      
   Ok, just checking if you are using the latest GPL release, or maybe even the   
   latest release by Folkert...

   This seems rather strange behavior, if you are restarting it every time...   
      
    WV>> But to be able to do anything with this, I will have to reproduce it,   
    WV>> which means I need some message base files from before the switch to   
    WV>> fmail, your fmail config files, and an example pkt file to toss with   
    WV>> fmail, which causes the symptoms. Would that be possible at all? But   
    WV>> I'm wondering would it be worth the trouble, considering the rarity of   
    WV>> the use-case.   
      
    RC> Situation rendered moot, when I created a fresh message base.   
      
   Pity... I could of course do the same as you, create a message base with   
   fastecho, and work from there. But there are more important things regarding   
   fmail to put my time in. ;)   
      
    RC>>> and had a more logical flow to it likefastechoes or even RA's..   
      
    WV>> You should be more specific on what you definition of logical is in   
    WV>> this case. ;) I don't know what fastechos or RA's config program looks   
    WV>> like. But I don't think I'm gonna do a complete make-over of how   
    WV>> fsetup works anyway, the current userbase is used to how things work.   
    WV>> But of course that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement on   
    WV>> some of the specifics...   
      
    RC> Are you familiar with Frontdoors setup program and its layout?   
      
   Not any more... It must be at least 10 years ago when I last used it...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
