    AA> What could be the problem?   
      
   Here's how my tests went with the "suspect" FSXNet compressed mail bundles     
   you kindly sent me .....   
      
   [1] Configured a "dummy" FSXNet server.   
      
   [2] Manually unpacked the compressed mail bundle into a temporary              
       directory, which resulted in four mail packets(.pkt) sitting in the        
       temporary directory.   
      
   [3] Selected OpenXP -> Import -> Read other format.   
      
   [4] Navigated my way to the temporary directory.   
      
   [5] Hit  over the first .pkt file.   
      
   [6] In the dialogue that popped up, I selected the "dummy" FSXNet server       
       by pressing  and then pressing .   
      
   [7] Pressed  on the following two options, which took me back to        
       OpenXP's area list screen.   
      
   [8] Repeated steps [3] to [7] for the other three mail packets.   
      
   I now have an FSXNet netmail area containing two messages and an FSXNet     
   echomail area containing seven messages.   
      
   No errors encountered anywhere along the way.   
      
   Sorry but I cannot reproduce your problem.   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
