Hi! Wilfred,

In a msg of Wed, 06 Sep 17, Paul Quinn wrote to you:

Well, I managed to screw up even some of the simplest things but eventually got
something like a normal echomail scan out...

GoldEd created the expected echomail.jam file, containing...

--- 8< ---
/opt/ftn/fido/msgbase/fec1e5dd 8020
--- 8< ---

In the areas.bbs file that file is identified as...

--- 8< ---
!/opt/ftn/fido/msgbase/fec1e5dd WIN95                3:640/384
--- 8< ---

Then a sendmail script called for a 'fmail scan' which scanned _every_ message area: netmail, HMB & then JAM.  It seemed to completely ignore the echomail.jam file except when it came time to delete it.

This was kinda awkward so I re-ran the same actions.  Same result.  Oops.  ;-)

There must have been something else that I missed?  Do you have any suggestions, please?

Cheers,
Paul.
