   23 Jan 16 20:30, you wrote to me:   
      
    RM>>> It seems that the Flag does not make it to Golded.   
    ml>> not sure what you mean by this "does not make it to golded"   
    ml>> statement...   
      
    RM> Golded can answer RRq messags itself.   
    RM> See below template.   
      
   you've mixed up the RRQ and the CFM flags ;)   
      
   RRQ is responded to by the tosser/mailer (if the mailer unpacks the netmail   
   from the PKTs al la frontdoor)... CFM is responded to by the sysop editor or   
   BBS software when the destination user reads the message...   
      
   [chomp]   
      
    ml>> then there's also the CFM flag... this one causes you reader   
    ml>> software. if it is configured to honor it, to generate a receipt to   
    ml>> the originator when you read the message... sysop readers and bbs   
    ml>> software would be the ones to honor this flag...   
      
    ml>> so two flags for two different receipts... one receipt for the   
    ml>> netmail's arrival and unpacking and another receipt when the destinee   
    ml>> reads the message... honoring either is optional...   
      
    RM> Aaah ... OK, so RRq is answered by the tosser, CFM by the editor.   
      
   yes...   
      
    RM> Strangely Golded also mentions RRq in the documentation ...   
      
    RM> Thanx!

   that's a template for responding to the CFM flag ;)
