      Hi Niels,              On 20 Sep 11 01:01, Niels Joncheere wrote to Michiel van der Vlist:        about: "FMail does not pack unsent netmail":               NJ> I have set up a FidoNet node with binkd as the mailer, FMail as        NJ> tosser/scanner/packer, and GoldED as editor.              That's exactly my setup! ;)               NJ> Thanks for shedding some light on this issue; the approach you        NJ> describe works correctly for all routed netmail.

I don't think I can teach binkd to send        NJ> non-packed netmail, though, but maybe I should move that issue over to        NJ> the appropriate echo. :-)              I'm not sure if that's the way it's done, but as long as the .pkt file is       mentioned in the .flo file, binkd will send out uncompressed pkt files, just       like compressed files... (And maybe binkd picks up uncompressed pkt files       directly?)              But are you also calling fmail with the 'pack' option to make ik pack netmail       and put it in the right place to be send by binkd?              My script for scanning for echomail and packing netmail looks something like       this:                     ...\fmailw32.exe scan       ...\fmailw32.exe pack                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail/Win32 1.64.GPL        * Origin: point@work (2:280/464.112)    |
