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...
