   Hi! Martin,   
      
   On 17 Oct 2020, Martin Foster said the following...

   It is a shame.  I later, again, went through the dox and some captures but   
   couldn't spot why CM did what it did to you.   
      
    MF> Perhaps it's time to move on to something else such as hpt or FMail ?    
      
   I feel for you.  CM was my all-time favourite following 20-odd years with   
   FastEcho.  In my case I found with the version 0.71 distribution Linux   
   executables, and my own local compiled versions, that there is an inherent   
   hiccup in the inter-zonal operation of CM.  Like FastEcho, CM has a native   
   'zonegate' mode that cannot be turned off.   
      
   I recommend FMail, in a Windows environment.  On my main node I'm doing FMail   
   in Linux.  (It's a pain for the present as it requires a Windows   
   configurator program.)  It is a good old-style tosser, which shows its age in   
   some aspects.  E.g. be prepard for a Hudson base requirement.   
      
   Good luck.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
