 I had it twice, it seems the second time had duped the prior 
 packet. In both packets, the zcalc program was in it. The first 
 time it occurred, I was able to circumvent the problem by using 
 an earlier revision of PKQWK. Dunno what happened thew second 
 time around though.

 Did I promise something ?? I have a faint niggly feeling that I 
 did. Can I renege ??

 PE> Also Dieter, the packet you sent me as an example started

 I know.

 I'll have to do a hack of Brenton's code so it doesn't delete the 
 inbound mail immediately after unpacking it, but rather the 
 packets are deleted at the next occurrence of invoking his 
 Getmail.bat file.

 BTW, with PKT2QWK, if I use a parameter of say Joe Bloggs 
 instead of my name, would I see my own generated mail within 
 that newly generated QWK? 
 
 Or is my replies automatically removed from my incoming mail on 
 TML proper ?
