   This seems to only be an issue when you directly link a sysop reader to your   
   BBS message bases with a built-in tosser. When I setup Golded+ on it's own   
   with a tosser/mailer, I haven't had this problem. I use goldkeys.cfg and setup   
   f11 to scan out echomail, and f12 to pack netmail. This way I can go through   
   my entire scan, and not send anything out. Editing, proofreading, etc (with   
   the occasional miss, of course) can be done wherever you want before the   
   tosser is actually ran.   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
