   Hello Allen,

   There is a reason fmail does not automatically process mail from the unsecure   
   directory...   
      
      
   I have the following solution:   
      
   1) I fly the MN flag in the nodelist. Signaling that compressed mail will not   
   be automatically processed without prior arrangement. Only raw *.PKT is   
   automatically processed from an unsecure session.   
      
   2) in my mailrcvd.bat I have a line before caliing fmail toss:   
      
      if exist \fido\unsecure\*.pkt move \fido\unsecure\*.pkt \fido\secure\   
      
      
   Works for me.

   If you are not sure on how to do that, then don't.

   No, you do not have to enter a node in the fmail node manager to crash mail to   
   it. If the crash mail bit in the message is set, what you have t do is:   
      
      fmailw32 pack * -c

   Then don't...

   No comment... ;-)   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
