   Did not work.  Did not receive that one.   
      
   MEANWHILE, I think I found a bug.   I tested a FA with a short filename     
   that contained spaces:

   ..and the crash call to your boss node locked up, and the logs do not show     
   that file in the transaction ..only the message packet with a short     
   message to you went out.   
      
   The problem seems to be the spaces in the filename?  ..and there is a     
   certain length limit because I do not get the longname file you tried to     
   send.
