ml> what it writes are netmails so yeah, they'll be OK ;)   
      
    ml> what's your config line\section for that area look like?   
      
   I will try and copy and paste this into Max's editor :)   
      
   MsgArea netmail   
           % This defines your primary NetMail area, accessible with an   
           % area "number" of NET.  Note that this area defaults to the   
           % Squish message format.   
      
           ACS     Sysop   
           Desc    NetMail   
           Path    c:\ftn\fe\netmail   
           Style   *.MSG Pvt   
           Renum Max 500   
   End MsgArea   
      
   There we go.  As you can see I changed it to the *.MSG format to point   
   directly to FE's netmail area.  As I said, I can read, but can't address   
   replies properly.  Does a compiled nodelist need to be installed and available   
   for that to work or no?
