   Thanks for shedding some light on this issue; the approach you describe works   
   correctly for all routed netmail.  (Although I have to check whether crashmail   
   is packed correctly as well; I think that may cause some problems.)  I don't   
   think I can teach binkd to send non-packed netmail, though, but maybe I should   
   move that issue over to the appropriate echo. :-)   
      
   Kind regards,   
   Niels
