Hi! Philip,

I looked at this notion a few years back and couldn't find a way with
FastEcho.  The closest method would be to not have FE create file-attach
netmails, and use a BATch or similar script to look for and move created
ARCmail files for nodes to fileboxes (see paragraph "6.2.4 - FastEcho
Toss -F", page 114 in the FE manual).

Frankly, I cannot remember why I would have wanted to do it, as FE's BSO
tossing is as good as it gets without the need for filebox-type
operation.[shrug]  Binkley, binkD, Argus and Radius have worked fine with
FE, here.

If anyone asks me about such things as filebox operation I usually
recommend they try/use FMail.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
