   Hi Sean,   
      
   On 2026-01-06 12:27:58, you wrote to me:   
      
    SR>>> I find /s doesn't work on Linux, have to do -s :)   
      
    WV>> That is correct, all options in the linux version use the '-' char   
    WV>> because '/' is used in paths. I didn't change it in the windows   
    WV>> version (yet), as not to break backwards compatibility, for the batch   
    WV>> files current users probably are using.   
      
    SR> Well it works perfectly here, although it may aid others to display -   
    SR> instead of / for Linux users only. It took me a while to realise that   
    SR> /s was not working when I started using Fmail first under Linux  Sean   
      
   There is a mention of this in the ChangeLog file:   
      
   2023-01-02  2.1.0.20-Beta   
     * Made character that starts an option on the commandline   
       (linux: '-', windows: '/') a #define.   
      
   But you are right it should be properly documented in FMAIL.TXT... ;-)   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
