I had a look at my setup (first time for a year or so), and found that
EVERYTHING was written in full! I tried to enter the macros in the form listed
in the on-line help, but haven't yet found a way to get the '[' and ']' to be
entered in the field on the FESETUP->SYSTEM->PATHNAMES screen. I have also
tried the ALT-??? trick as well, along with a number of other potential
varients on the theme gleaned from the docs/setups of other programs.

I can report mine doesn't, I do run Intermail 2.29g (FD compatible) and EleBBS
in a DOS 6.22 environment with a characterset codepage of 437. I'm looking
forward to hearing the definitive answer to this question, and trying any
suggestions.
Using environment variables can help reduce the logistics of moving things
around, which happens occasionally when resources change.
Take care...
