   The problem is that FMail does not generate any .pkt or .flo file in my   
   outbound directory, unless I set the "Pack netm." option of the appropriate   
   node to "Yes" in fsetupx.  Or maybe this is just the way FMail is intended to   
   work?

   Yes, I am doing exactly that each time my GoldED exits.  And it does find my   
   echomail, and does pack my netmail if the node's "Pack netm." is set to "Yes".   
   So this works fine for all routed netmail now.  I just wonder what the correct   
   way would be to send crashmail; do I have to add a node in the node manager   
   for the recipient then?   
      
   Kind regards,
