i was just replying to a post... who wrote it and what the subject line may
have said didn't come into play at all... hell, the specific message areas
wasn't even looked at or considered, either... it was just another post in
an area...

no one should ever be sending raw MSG files to start with... that's the
first problem... "converted to PKT"?? empty file attach messages
in MSG format don't even get sent from properly configured and working
systems... they are little more than ?LO files in the BSO format... they
only serve to tell the mailer where the file is going...

you wouldn't even need to worry about MSG files arriving in your inbounds
if folks would take the time to learn about the tech and how it works but
:shrug: oh well...

that's all find and good... educating those sending the crap to you would
be better, though... but there's that thing about horses, water and
drinking that gets in the way i guess...

as noted above, i didn't even look to see who wrote what i was replying
to... or the subject line or the echo the traffic is in...

that's a GoodThing...
