Hi mark,

   They are created in the regular outbound, as all the files are, and when they   
   are finished, they are renamed/moved to the filebox directory.

   I'm aware of that, and the original author of FMail apparently too, because   
   it's done in a correct way. ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
