That will fillup       the bad message en dupe boards very quickly. So maybe it would work if you set       those to 'none'!               PH> ------------ Tue 2016-12-06, FMail-W32-1.72.0.0        PH> 20:22:04.086 Toss        PH> 20:22:04.117 Scan for received BCL files        PH> 20:22:04.117 Error opening c:\fsxuse\fmail\FMAIL32.DUP: No such file or        PH> directory              This is not a real error, because otherwise FMail would have quit right there.       There was some generic code that always printed this error when it couldn't       open any file.
