Hello Wilfred!   
      
   Monday July 07 2014 12:56, you wrote to me:   
      
    OP>> 1. Why can't FMail be configured by use of environment variables?   
    OP>> E.g., I want to use %FTN%-variable with default value H:\FIDONET   
    OP>> defining paths but FSetupX accepts full paths only.   
    WV> Why? I don't know. Maybe because I and the previous author never   
    WV> thought of that, and nobody asked before? ;)   
      
       Okey, I understood. It would be a very useful feature and we'll be glad to   
   see it realized in the next releases.   
      
    OP>> 2. I have 30 echo-groups. In FastEcho I could have 26 groups from   
    OP>> A to Z and 6 groups from 1 to 6. In FMail this value is limited   
    OP>> by  26 only from A to Z. Is it a principle limit and is it   
    OP>> possible to increase this value?   
    WV> It's a limit in the configuration file, so it's (very) difficult to   
    WV> change.   
      
       Well, I accepted this restriction. But, to be honest, it's a pitty. For   
   example, a large node can have 30 and more echo groups easily.   
      
    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?   
    WV> It will be placed in the directory where you have your mailer   
    WV> configured to place it. I don't think it's upto a tosser to handle   
    WV> this directly. I think most sysops handle this manually...   
      
       In the previous message I described the possible situation when the session   
   is password-protected, the node is defined in the area manager but no password   
   is specified for it. As already also mentioned, it's rather exotic situation   
   but it can take place in real life.   
      
    OP>> 4. The uppercase and lowercase characters can't be distinguished   
    OP>> in the file names, paths, passwords etc. In some cases, it may be   
    OP>> important (e.g., when we talk about the passwords).   
    WV> From origin fmail is a dos program, so it only allowed uppercase   
    WV> filenames and paths. When I come accross this, I change it to allow   
    WV> both upper and lower case. But I probably missed a few. If you point   
    WV> them out, I will change that for the next release.   
    WV> Passwords are mixcase where it is allowed by the standards.   
      
       I don't want to repeat all this once more, you may read all suggestions   
   related to this issue in my previous message too.   
      
       Thank you once more for attention. Please note that my comments should be   
   considered only as friendly remarks and are directed to the improvement of a   
   nice and useful software. :)
