Also I checked Alan's stuff, and I would suggest:

1. You send me a D.Ubobl0003 instead of a D.scorpio0003.

2. You send me an X.Ubobl0003 too!

I have managed to located the D.Ubobl0003 (it's actually located in the
same place as the outbound mail), and looks like this...

U news scorpio
Z
F D.scorpio0003
I D.scorpio0003
C rnews

My suspicion is that the X. file should have the data in it.  BFN.  Paul.
