   No, as far as I know, renegade still uses a proprietary msg format that uses    
   renemail to convert back and forth for from *.msg. for outgoing mail the    
   *.msg is what You want to be fido compatible. Outgoing packets are in *.msg    
   format for all systems in a fido atmosphere.

   Sorry, wish I could, I don't use argus. You still need a mail tosser, not    
   just renemail. I used renemail with gecho back when I ran Renegade. I also    
   ran it with squish. So if that is what You are asking, You Do need more than    
   just renemail, You need something like squish or gecho to take those *.msg    
   files and make packets for You.   
      
   Hope this helps a bit.
