   I thought I was. I want to know how FMail treats packets when tossing   
   interzone as I read there are known issues with the way FastEcho handles the   
   same situation. What does FMail do such packets, does it create PATH or

   Dupe checking aside I was after some feedback from people (that I figured   
   would be here) who have experience with FMail to be able to offer some   
   qualified thoughts about the features of FMail vs FastEcho (and HTP).   
      
   I've downloaded the latest FMail, I am looking at it to form my own   
   opinions about it ...but it's always nice to hear some thoughts about what it   
   offers from the current maintainer and current users of the software   
      
   It's starting to feel like that's a hard thing to obtain..   
      
   Best, Paul
