That's how me & you understand it, if looking from a FroDo POV.  In
this case it belong'em FMail (& GoldEd) only.

Ah, yup...

binkD.

Radius.  I mastered the internal FREQ server setup maybe a year ago. Now
that you raised the matter, I've realized there ain't no X? nodelist flag
for my main node & RC AKA.  I think I pulled the flags when I was
troubleshooting a problem with my DOS BATch FREQ handler, which was okay;
it was just missing some supporting files which disappeared over years of
disuse.  The flag should be XX, as for Argus I think.  I'll try & get
David to fix that ASAP or with the next necessary region update.

That's besides the point IAC: FMail knows nothing of the nodelist IIRC. 
I'm a little remote from my PC now but I've checked a FMail text output
file that makes no mention of a nodelist file in the config.

Cheers,
Paul.
