JF> 2. Has it ever been considered that Telemate have a system to
 JF> automatically delete QWK reply packets if requested?
     You do this via your mail script.  Here's the section from my own, where
     d:\bwave\upload\brain.new is the path to, and name of the upload reply
     packet (in this case it's Bluewave rather than QWK):
FileExist "D:\BWAVE\UPLOAD\BRAIN.NEW",FILE    ; check for reply packet
If File                                       ; upload if it exists
Waitfor "ake your pick"
Put "u"
Set Alarmtime,0
Send "Z","D:\BWAVE\UPLOAD\BRAIN.NEW"
Delay 10
Set Alarmtime,6
If Success
Delete "D:\BWAVE\UPLOAD\BRAIN.NEW"    ; deletes reply packet after uploaded
Alarm  "***Reply Packet Successfully Uploaded***"
Endif
Set Guessfile,on
Endif
