   No, there are no hidden options that can be configured outside of fsetup.

   You will have to wait for fsetup "2.0". My first priority is make a Win32   
   compatible FSetup, before making new functionality.   
      
    OP> 3. I feel really upset about the menu "Miscelanneous -> Personal

   Idem.

   As said before fmail has it origins in the DOS era. So in places it shows it's   
   age. I'll have a look at it though, because this is a limitation we can do   
   without.   
      
    OP> 5. Do any tools exist for announcing of appearance of a new echo in

   I don't know...

   FMail is opensource, so you're welcome to try and improve this. ;)   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
