It's not that I'm happy or not, I just let you know about it so we can fix
the issue before it makes problems worse. :)

As I mentioned in netmail, I've had some serious issues with Battlenet the
past few days as well. I've had to manually reset each game before it would
import game packets properly.

Carol may have changed some settings to where she is sending out netmails
(like you were) with the packets. That's why something is trying to process
them over there. It's not the actual game packets that are being processd
as netmail, it's all the .MSG files that come along with them!

You may have to contact Carol and let her know you don't need the .MSG
files. And if this continues for much longer (whatever issues are going on
over there) I may just drop out completely.

Check your mailer logs and see if you received any .MSG files with those
game packets. THAT is what is being processed as netmail, because they
*ARE* netmails created by the games.

Carol's system should NOT be forwarding them to you, though. That's for sure.

Regards,
Nick
