      Hi Paul,              On 11 Jun 17 14:24, Paul Hayton wrote to Wilfred van Velzen:        about: "Re: Fmail":               PH> OK I fixed it (of sorts)              Good! ;)               PH> The import process I use each time I run a poll to the NNTP server        PH> generates 4 netmails per poll (an hourly thing).

But I       don't use a hudson area for my netmail, I keep them all as *.msg's. So I don't       know how that would work out exactly, with a hudson netmail area. And so I       don't use the 'import' funciton of FMail:               4.3 Import               Imports netmail messages destined for your system into the message        base. A netmail board should be defined in FConfig. Whether or not        messages to the Sysop should be imported can also be defined in        FConfig. The /A switch tells FMail to ignore AreaMgr requests.                     Wilfred.              --- FMail-W32 2.0.1.4        * Origin: point@work (2:280/464.112)    |
