   In my first setup with hpt on linux was there no problem with having the   
   netmailarea i .msg format but then updated by cvs and recompiled to a newer   
   version and then were husky fidoconfig hpt + htick have none problem with   
   reading netmailarea as .msg but one thing was there and still is there hpt   
   pack/scan got error open /msgb/netmail/*.msg files and pack them, so I changed   
   it to be by squish format and made some localareas for specific fido programs   
   to use to put .msg files to and then moving files from makenl in   
   /msgb/netm/*.msg manual moved to netmailarea.   
   If I just could make hpt co fidoconfig to work with .msg files in   
   /msgb/netmail/ so hpt pack will pack them will it be nice, so it is why I ask   
   for makenl to cold post to other mail format than .msg files.   
   I should perhaps write my problem to fido echo for fidohusky programs. It is   
   funny as I have a point system on usb with husky program in use but this is   
   for windows and here is there none problem with using netmail as .msg stile   
   format and it works fine.   
      
     Take care,
