   I didn't do an extensive search in the source about this, but afaik fmail   
   doesn't use the CWD. And the executable directory is used (mainly for the   
   config files) if you don't specify a "working" directory through the FMAIL   
   environment variable. But it doesn't use that for creating pkt files. They are   
   created directly in the outbound directory...
