Nah. I don't send any netmail with my segment to my RC. The segment is all
that gets processed. The netmail is/was probably just for convenience
letting them know that it was sent and arrived on their system.

Now that most things are completely automated, though.. 1) MakeNL doesn't
require a netmail for anything, and 2) Your RC probably won't even see the
netmail until after your segment has already been processed anyways. :)

Not really any workaround being done. You can just choose to process the
segment and move it to your RC's filebox. No netmail involved (so obviously
those netmail related lines would need to be commented out in your .CTL
file).

 GH> If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?

BOTH! :)

Nick
