   Hi! Rick,

   I only use Netmgr on netmail areas.  The /SVN/xmsgapi/doc notes that...   
      
                               ---===[ * * * ]===---   
   This is the first release of XMSGAPI.  Some new bugs may be introduced.   
   SDM support has not been tested thoroughly.   
      
   This library is based on smapi-2.2, however the code has been cleaned   
   up, modified, and ported to a number of additional compilers.  Note that   
   due to unresolved bugs and/or incomplete code in api_jam.c, JAM support   
   is currently not compiled into the library by default.  Also, it is not   
   yet possible to generate a DLL of the XMSGAPI.  These issues may be   
   corrected in a future release.   
                               ---===[ * * * ]===---   
      
   I can tell you after having used it, that netmgr will carry out copy/move   
   actions to a JAM nemail 'definition' but treats it as a directory path.  I.e.,   
   the resultant netmails end up at the bottom of a tree rooted by an exclamation   
   point, from where the executable was called from.   
      
    RC> I've always used MSG for Netmail, and some other things verus x   
    RC> message base be it JAM or Hudson, which I used in the past.   
      
   For over 24 years I have used MSG but have also used what's called a   
   'secondary' area for my own personal mail, freeing the primary area for junk   
   that has to happen with mailer & tosser software (e.g. areafix, PINGs, etc).    
   It has usually been another MSG area but in recent years I have developed a   
   preference for a JAM area, which can be presented with the JamNNTPd server (of   
   course).   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
