   Understood.  The area consists of pre-existing files, copied over five years   
   ago from FastEcho/DOS's auto-create origin point, and since then maintained by   
   Crashmail II/lnx.  As of Saturday last, FMail/lnx is now the owner/operator.

   Yes.  Everything at & below /opt/ftn has my user's rights, only.

   The terminal screen says things about checking netmail & HMB, and then JAM   
   areas.  Nothing about the echomail.jam file at all.
