Of course it's possible ... somehow :)

1) FD receives files either in NETFILES or SECFILES (based on session security).

2) FD will send files form *anywhere*, the Static Queue (STQ) and NetMail
folder is what tells FD what to send. A NetMail message (.MSG) in the
NetMail folder can attach files from any directory, there is no automatic
"spool directory". A STQ entry can point to any file, there's no
"automatic logic".

3) IF FD receives *raw* .PKT files into its NETFILES or SECFILES
directories during a session, or finds them there upon startup, it will
unpack them, unless the FDOPT environment variable contains NOUNPACK (can
also be specified on the command-line as /NOUNPACK).

4) FD does not have a directory for "send" (see #2).
