It "Works", to some point. It fails with the msgs.cnf method almost completely,
but if you configure it manually, it works a bit better. I got my GoldEd+
wokring with netmail and the email message bases, as I don't want to manually
configure it for everything.. That and it trashes permissions somehow.
So, definitely can't recommend letting it try to do the automated method of the
msgs.cnf, as that screws a lot of things up. :)
