 Hmm, we'll see. Do I really have to read the doc's ??? How 
 different is the new implementation of PKT to QWK over previous 
 release ?. That info you gave the phone is somewhat different 
 to what is in the original MAKEMAIL of Brenton's.
 
 DM>  BTW, with PKT2QWK, if I use a parameter of say Joe Bloggs

 PE> No.  That just governs what you see under "personal messages".
 PE> If you want to see your outbound messages, you need to drag your

 Yeah, I saw that with Bob's, but it still doesn't ensure that my 
 outgoing mail has been correctly received by the host BBS.

 DM>  Or is my replies automatically removed from my incoming mail on
 DM>  TML proper ?

 PE> At the .PKT stage, there is simply inbound mail and outbound

 But can you do it on a point basis ? e.g. For some reason 4th 
 Reich has been detagged by your BBS, but I used to have it in 
 the past as I used to post the occasional mail in Z3 Tech. But 
 now my mail is going to 4the Reich, which is the conference 
 immediately prior to Z3 TEch, according to my Tenmin.Tbl. Who 
 deselected it ? It wasn't me.
