   looks like it...   
      
    RM> It seems that the Flag does not make it to Golded.   
      
   not sure what you mean by this "does not make it to golded" statement...   
      
   just for clarity, the RRQ flag is set by you in your editor when you create a   
   netmail message... if the destination system honors the RRQ flag, then its   
   mailer and/or tosser will generate a receipt when the message is unpacked from   
   the PKT... that receipt will be sent back to the originator to tell them that   
   the message did arrive at its destination...   
      
   then there's also the CFM flag... this one causes you reader software. if it   
   is configured to honor it, to generate a receipt to the originator when you   
   read the message... sysop readers and bbs software would be the ones to honor   
   this flag...   
      
   so two flags for two different receipts... one receipt for the netmail's   
   arrival and unpacking and another receipt when the destinee reads the   
   message... honoring either is optional...   
      
   )\/(ark   
      
   ... We have normality, I repeat, we have normality. (Whatever that is.)
