   Thank you for confirming that.  As you are now familiar with my lack of     
   reading the fine print, prior to this I decided to be a bit more careful     
   and *not* just do a regular unpack over the old.  Good to hear that an     
   "update" via unpack does not write over existing config settings.

   I deleted it.  Not knowing what the " F" character meant was bothering     
   me.  They don't seem to be talked about in the Helps.   
      
   But now, I can't seem to add a file attach anymore.  :(   No matter.  It's     
   not an expected feature of fidonet/netmail anyway.   
      
      
   Just curious, are file attaches popular in the othernets with OpenXP?
