i don't know if i saw them or not... i would have to look... they would not
be moved by my processing, in any case, since my processing is 8.3 based...

ahhh... that's why i have finally seen some traffic in there the last few days...

it is definitely an issue but there is supposedly a method whereby both the
LFN and the 8.3 can be specified and used by the mailers and tic tossers...
i forget the details, though... it has been so long since we worked on any
of that in frontdoor...
