   Hello mark!   
      
   27 Oct 18 14:59, you wrote to all:   
      
    ml> how can i tell makenlng to not use the killsent attribute in the FA   
    ml> netmail MSG?   
      
    There are two solutions and you will not like either of them.   
      
    1. Search the source code, and remove the kill/sent bit from the attribute.   
       Recompile the changed source.   
      
    2. Do not use Makenl to transmit the files, but use something external, where   
       you have more control over the atribute bits.   
      
    For a long term solution, convince Andrew to move the definition of the   
    attribute to the ctl file. But expect the answer that is was not needed in   
    the last 25 or so years.
