 Hello, Chris Gunn, I'd like you to meet my friend, Dr. Lao...

 CG> Act-Up would probably be the closest to a utility for what you 
 CG> have in mind.

 CG> convert any *.PKT's you've defined to rnews packets.  The DOC 

Thanks, I did take a look. Although what I specifically need is not news, but
straight email, I'll bet act-up could do it. A -big- plus: AU seems to have the
best docs of all the packages I've looked at, it 'explains' what things are
rather than just saying 'do this' or giving eleventy nine widely varying
examples without describing the purpose of each. The big minus is that fifty
bucks is twice what I have spent in 7 years for -all- my bbs/fidonet related
software.

:-)
