Hello everybody.

   Recently (this week), I switched from Fastecho 1.46 to FMail 1.59b/Beta

   I am using JAMAPI Tools that allow me to inspect all files and how they
are interact with the four files. Anyway, just to help others who may be
looking to implement FMail, I can add fresh perspective.

   FMail works great with the JAM and Fidonet. It works with BSO folders.

   Only quirk(s) I have found:
     FMailW32 SCAN /J /S

   Works for getting messages out - that JAMNNTPD v1.2.3 is not always
flaging posts as new, and updating the MODCOUNTER field in the header.
(Which I assume FMail is using to know if there is anything to look for).

   The other quirk is my "INBOUND" and "OUTBOUND" are
network folders. FMail reports the drive/path do not exist, create Y/n? So
I make fake IN/OUT folders locally and I move my files IN/OUT before TOSS
and SCAN.

   Other than that - I am using GoldED to also help me test. It has
"I"nspect mode when you are scrolling through a message base
(JAM, Fido/Opus, etc). Dumps the variables, headers, and hexdump of the
actual content. Great (amazing) feature to put into an EDITOR!
