   I don't think so.. as it runs, and see above, *Same errors*.

   Nothing here...

    I did this on the operating node, this one, I am replying from.. *same   
   erorrs* on old or new packets   
      
    Did it a couple times to nuke the JAM files...   
      
    Finally created a TEST Echo in MSG format.... WORKS!   
      
      
    PQ> Your netmail area _may_ be okay?  Is it a *.Msg area?  Otherwise,   
    PQ> trash it too.   
      
   Nope, Netmail is/always is MSG format....   
      
    PQ> No other changes needed... fingers crossed.  ;)  Just let CM re-create   
    PQ> your messagebase...   
      
      
   No joy! See above.
