   I do run QBBS.    
      
   I do not like it because RemoteAccess is better.   
      
    MJ> You are assuming the software has no bugs.   
      
    KR> No. I assume that after years of fidonet wide operation routing bugs

   I want to check it for myself.   
      
    MJ> What if I want to check my packed messages match what the mailer's

    KR> If you do routing it does not match. That's the purpose of routing.   
    KR> You send messages not to the destination but to another node. You will   
    KR> have a destination mismatch between the messages and the envelope.    
    KR> And even if you suspect your routing software faulty your links would

   If I use an area manager and have downlinks subscribed to different echoes, I   
   want to be able to check that the scanner is packing mail correctly for each   
   downlink (ie. downlinks are only receiving messages from subscribed echoes). A   
   packet inspector makes it easy to monitor the files in outbound.   
      
    MJ> Except outbound directories contain files like "EFAABCFF.mo0".   
      
    KR> Those files doesn't have something to do with routing. You need to   
    KR> check to flowfiles which are responsible for the routing destination.   
    KR> Those are simple ascii files readable by a simple text editor.    
    MJ> I want a nice user interface to scroll through and open such packets   
    MJ> and check the message contents.   
      
   Those files definitely have something to do with routing.   
      
   In BSO-style outbound the file names and extensions control when and where the   
   mailer sends files. When there are 50 files in outbound, a packet inspector   
   makes it easy to check the intended routing.   
      
    KR> Golded can't do this. Golded is a user editor that is in use after or   
    KR> before those packed mail has been processed.    
      
   Yes. This question was previously answered. But you insist on assuming there   
   is no use to inspecting packets - which is wrong.
