   Yes.  It is an old lesson re-learned.   
      
   While both packages insist on having a HMB, FastEcho's unused one has been   
   situated on a 256Kb(!) RAM drive for the last ~15 years, with semaphores and   
   other text files in separate dirs.  A body can't do that with FMail, as that   
   is where the Badmail & Dupes are forced.   
      
   Arggghhh!  ;-)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
