I havent fiddled with config of PQWK yet. Its quite clear that thats the
problem, the PKT doesnt have the AREA: for netmail, and it just drops it
in the first area, regardless of what it happens to be called, in my
case LOCSYSOP. I havent yet reconfigured, mainly coz its a bit more
elegant if PQWK would actually be intelligent in searching for an area
with the name of NETMAIL in that case, not just drop it in the first
area without even checking its name. IMO it would be a better way to do
things unless I have forgotten some fundamental reason why not.

BG>  Oh, this message should also be flagged PVT.

Yeah, I have had an occasional one, two now, between other people which
were flagged PVT. My vague recollection is that thats just a quirk of the
Fido system, and the receiving system is expected to remove it if it
doesnt like it.

Yours got in PVT and I have let OLX leave it like that to see what
happens, just as a matter of interest. It should be received by you in
the LOCSYSOP area, coz once PQWK puts it in there, nothing else knows
any better and just assumes it came in in the PKT with an AREA:LOCSYSOP
if you know what I mean. Rather tangled logic but I am too lazy to
reword it.
