DC> OMX doesn't want to grab them from TM.  

Is searched for private in the documentation.

From OMXOS/2 Doc:                                                     
                                                                      
NetMail     This  is  a type of mail generally  intended  for         
            personal,  one-on-one communication.  NetMail  is         
            addressed  directly  to  the  recipient,  and is usually  
            marked as "private".  This way, the  only person that can 
            read the message is the person to whom the message is     
            addressed.                                                
                                                                      
EchoMail    A  method of mail processing used for public,  or         
            "conference" mail.  Unlike NetMail, messages sent via     
            EchoMail are usually NOT  marked "private", and  can      
            therefore be read by anyone.   EchoMail conferences  are  
            separated by topic, and  are  by far  the most popular    
            method of mail processing, since it allows people from all
            across the  globe to interact with each other about their 
            favorite topics.                                          
                                                                      
Post Restrict Type                                                    
                                                                      
            Specifies  the default posting restriction type to  be    
            used  when  creating a new  message  area.   Available    
            restriction  types are "Public", 
"Private",  "Public/    
            Private", and "Read Only".                                
                                                                      
PRIVATE                                                               
            Messages  will always be marked as  private, i.e.  only   
            the intended recipients can  read them.                   
                                                                      
            Note that  BY CONVENTION, NetMail message  areas  are     
            usually marked "Private", while EchoMail and GroupMail    
            areas are usually marked "Public".  Of course, you can    
            define message areas any way you like, but you  should    
            make sure that what you intend will be allowed by  the    
            person(s)  in charge of the conferences (for  example,    
            most EchoMail areas in the FidoNet distribution system    
            don't allow private messages).                            
                                                                      
DefaultPostType                                                 
                                                                      
            Specifies the "posting restriction" type that will be used
            by default when creating a new message area.  The         
            specified text can be "Public", "Private", 
              
            "Public/Private", or "Read Only".          
              


Now having done this, how is your area defined in TM.CFG?  These are private echoes.

From my.tm.cfg:

Desc TSR-PTS                        TSR-PTS       Echo1              
Desc MARSH-POINTS                   MARSH-POINTS  New                
                                                                     
Group Echo1     14   150   175    1    2      R Yes Yes  IBMPC    All
Group New      180   200   300    1    1      R Yes No   IBMPC    All
                                                                     
Set user and templates according to what you want.

Just asking why the convoluted setup?  I count 4 software packages to do
what 2 will do very efficiently.  Irex and Termail will do very well
together.  Or F2i and Termail.  I count Irex/F2i, Termail, OMX, Bluewave,
back to OMX and Termail then to Irex/F2i.

Would Irex/F2i Termail then Irex/F2i not be faster?

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
