I didn't say keep them to yourself. The fact that you were replying to me
about it was the only reason I wanted to let you know I (personally) didn't
need the advice. I've gone this far with today's so-called
""modern"" software and have no problems. When I do, I
seem to sort it out just fine.

However, if I started importing .MSG here (as in, they haven't been
converted to .PKT due to them not knowing how to work their less
"modern" mailer software that should be deleting them before
sending to me), I would be seeing a crap-ton of old door game data file
.MSG attachments from systems that haven't gotten the point that the game
league that was hosted here at one time was taken down well over a year
ago. I don't care to see those and already have a script in place to search
contents of incoming PKT and MSG files for those specific keywords and
delete them. However, that's on an hourly cron so if I were to load up
Golded and that cron hasn't run yet, I would get to see them in all of
their faded glory. :|

So basically, at the expense of keeping my system cleaner due to others
issues, I've created my own workarounds so I don't have to see a bunch of
unwanted garbage.

As for MakeNL, our RC posts his processing messages directly to the region
11 admin echo. So I don't need to process them here. Others may not have
that luxury though, so by all means.. continue to give the advice you're
giving. I was just letting you know I (personally) don't need it, so
directing your replies to me may not be as helpful as directing them
elsewhere. :)

The OP that asked the question now has a few different options to persue
while moving ahead.

Regards,
Nick
