Of course it's possible ... somehow :)
1) FD receives files either in NETFILES or SECFILES (based on session
security).
2) FD will send files form *anywhere*, the Static Queue (STQ) and NetMail
folder is what tells FD what to send. A NetMail message (.MSG) in the NetMail
folder can attach files from any directory, there is no automatic "spool
directory". A STQ entry can point to any file, there's no "automatic logic".
3) IF FD receives *raw* .PKT files into its NETFILES or SECFILES directories
during a session, or finds them there upon startup, it will unpack them, unless
the FDOPT environment variable contains NOUNPACK (can also be specified on the
command-line as /NOUNPACK).
4) FD does not have a directory for "send" (see #2).
