   in my experiance, those using crashmail have been extremely lucky that it   
   works for them... why and how is another story... i've seen both sides but   
   i've never tried to run it myself... why? specifically because of the problems   
   you are seeing... for my tastes, it was never stable enough for me to   
   consider... other's mileage has obviously varied...   
      
   i won't even mention that the original author has been gone for over a decade   
   and that they completely abandoned all their software when they left... they   
   were at least kind enough to release it for others to play with but that   
   doesn't mean it was working software at that time...   
      
   i also won't mention the couple of message based libraries that also came out   
   that had their own, sometimes erroneously, ways of handling message bases...   
   MAPI and SMAPI are two that i recall... the history leaves /much/ to be   
   desired... you really need to consider that a lot was also hobby stuff written   
   bt teenagers and twenty-somethings that did the code for grades in school and   
   left it at that...   
      
   i'm sorry to say that you seem to be expecting much too much of the software   
   that you are choosing to test... descent linux based FTN stuff hasn't been   
   around all that long... it has been a long and hard fought battle to get what   
   little bit of fTN software available for anyone to use...
