   Hello Michiel!   
      
   Sunday July 06 2014 20:51, you wrote to me:   
      
    OP>> 3. I haven't found any possibility in the configuration to   
    OP>> specify the directory for an unprotected inbound. So, the   
    OP>> question appears where the packages will be placed during the   
    OP>> unprotected tossing?   
    MV> What would you like an echomail tosser to toss from the unsecure   
    MV> inbound?   
      
       I'm interested in the situation when the password session exists but no   
   password for the packets and for the areafix is specified in the tosser. In   
   this case, the inbound bundles will be received by the mailer and will be   
   placed in the directory for the password sessions (password inbound). The   
   questions are how will the tosser behave in this situation and where (to which   
   directory) the appropriated pkt's will be tossed? I understand such situation   
   may take place not very often, moreover - it's almost exotic one. On the other   
   hand, we have to take it into account because it's the real circumstances.   
      
    OP>> 4. The uppercase and lowercase characters can't be distinguished   
    OP>> in the file names, paths,   
    MV> It is for DOS and Windows. Those OS's make no distintion between   
    MV> upper- and lower case for paths and file names. So of course Fmail   
    MV> does not either.   
    OP>> passwords etc. In some cases, it may be important (e.g., when we   
    OP>> talk about the passwords).   
    MV> Fmail nmakes the distinction for area manager passwords. Packet   
    MV> passwords are always upper case per Fido specs.   
      
       Well, the question about the passwords case is closed, thanks. But the   
   issue about the case of file names is not clear anyway. For example,   
   FSetupX.exe allows only uppercase characters when defining the log file names   
   ("System Info -> Log Files" window) but I'm free to use lowercase symbols in   
   file names in "System Info -> Compression" window. What's the difference   
   between them and why so?   
      
    OP>> 5. I haven't also found any way to perform the CarbonCopy   
    OP>> operation in a particular echo-area. Does this possibility exist?   
    OP>> If yes,   how is it accessible?   
    MV> That is not a job for the tosser. Your editor should take care of   
    MV> that.   
      
      Are you sure you've understood my question well? I understand that the   
   editor can perform this operation itself; my question was absolutely another. I   
   mean if there exists a possibility of automatic copying of the messages from   
   different echoes to the particular area by use of an appropriate sender's /   
   receiver's name template. E.g., I'd like all messages addressed to Oleg Pevzner   
   in any area to be copied to the area MY_AREA. In the most of existing tossers,   
   such function exists and is called as CarbonCopy. So, I wonder if it's possible   
   in FMail too.   
      
       Thank you in advance.
