FE does BSO stuff without problems... to use fileboxes, which were introduced
after the current public release, requires the use of additional software and
configuration...
if the system is using FileAttach (like frontdoor) then there are a few
programs that can be used to "convert" that to fileboxes for those systems that
need that capability... i use this format here with about 10 or so systems as
the method of integrating FD and BINKD together...
if the system uses BSO, then there should not have to be any conversion because
all the new mailers operate in BSO fashion...
