   If it's send-related (aka fmail scan) then not at this time, thanks. I'm   
   quietly watching just the tossing activity and monitoring the contents of the   
   messagebase, while fine-tuning GoldEd... and, loving it.  :)   
      
   All the JAM message area paths in Linux form were successfully imported into   
   FMail from an Areas.Bbs created by my Crashmail II tosser (on this Linux   
   system).  The netmail & HMB paths are converting correctly by 'fmail toss'   
   using the "FMAIL_REPLACE_DRIVE" envar.   
      
   GoldEd is set to use the same Areas.Bbs file that FConfigW32 imported,   
   together with local handwritten converted paths for the netmail & HMB areas in   
   its configuration file.  GoldEd has even been config'd to use the same echo   
   descriptions files as Fmail is supposed to use, so GoldEd looks normal again.   
      
   OTOH, I have noticed a slight weirdness in a local area (but still of   
   'echomail' type).  There's usually a batch of about 18-20 messages generated   
   by FastEcho in the area over a period of about 5 seconds each morning.    
   They're landing in the Fmail messagebase 'out of order'.   
      
   I did go back to FConfigW32 and enable message sorting but the ordering still   
   didn't seem normal compared with what I see tossed into the Crashmail   
   messagebase... ermmm, just checking... nah, they check out with GoldEd (here)   
   as being in the as-created order.   
      
   I'll double-double check everything following tomorrow's activity, and advise   
   formally if needed.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
