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.                     AA>> I was experimenting with an attachment since v5.0.37, and it never left       AA>> the queue:              AA>> þ F 22 08.04 August Abolins@2:221/360 2:221/1       AA>> H:\DOWNLOADS\somefile              AA>> ..is v.37 the reason why this is not going out?              MF> Not sure about that, I'll check it out later ;)              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?                      ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.38        * Origin: /|ug's Point, ONT, CANADA (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107 354       SEEN-BY: 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
