I'm assuming you're referring to the netmail notice makenl creates, and not
the actual output file of your segment process, but..

You might want to check makenl's settings to see if rather than creating a
netmail message in .MSG format, if you could save the contents to a text
file. Then you could use MUTIL to import that text file to your netmail
area with the desired FROM, TO, and SUBJ fields (if they aren't already
there) so it could be sent off to your uplink.

Otherwise, you could just ditch the settings for the netmail creation (in
makenl), and run a batch file/script that runs makenl to process your
nodelist segment, then copy/move it to the proper filebox for your uplink.
If the netmail is necessary, and makenl isn't able to do so in this
circumstance, you could create your own text file with the contents of what
you would like to include as a netmail message, and then part of your batch
file/script could import that text file to your netmail area during the
process.

A little more manual intervention comes with BSO, but once scripted
properly shouldn't need to be messed with again afterwards.

HTH.

Regards,
Nick
