Yeah but I wanna readdress mail -after- it has been placed in outbound, because
I want to view a summary of all interzone netmail before they're sent eg. in
the nifty BinklyTerm outbound zoom window.
The problem is those interzone netmails can be addressed to any random address
eg. 5:111/123, 6:222/456, 7:444/789. Usually this isn't a problem because they
would be routed through a single uplink which is performed by Squish at SQUASH
time. However for my purposes, I don't want the PKTs bundled into 1 uplink
address -until- ZMH so that I can inspect my outbound directory during daytime.
eg,
This way I can see what interzone mail I got pending.
In other words I don't want to group all netmail straightaway for my uplink
(3:712/0). If I did, all I would see in my outbound would be a big bundle for
3:712/0.

Even if I used HostRoute or arranged an uplink in each zone (which is one
stupid way to do it ...), I still can't achieve what I want because Squish can
only perform addressing and/or bundling actions once.
Once the .flo's are created, you can't change or readdress anything with
Squish. To my current knowledge you have to do it manually in BinkleyTerm or
other mailer.
I was hoping for a clean way to readdress bundled mail using Squish.
But it sounds like I have to use shell scripts / batch files.
For example to reroute interzone (netmail) mail to 3:712/0:
merge.bat:
================================================
:: combine everything into 02c80000.hlo (3:712/0)
copy ftn\02c80000.hlo
ftn.1\*.hlo ftn.2\*.hlo ftn.4\*.hlo
ftn.5\*.hlo ftn.6\*.hlo ftn.7\*.hlo
ftn\02c80000.tmp
:: overwrite the old .hlo file
copy ftn\02c80000.tmp ftn\02c80000.hlo
del ftn.?\*.hlo
;
; poll NC here
;
================================================
or something crap like that.
