Thanks for the kick-in-the-pants.  I should've known better (about the JAM format).

The problem has been resolved thanks to the efforts of the elusive Olaf
from www.news2mail.com (N2E), whose service is operating again.  He must be
German since his site is showing a "Naumann Solutions GmbH"
copyright, and states that any email queries should be "only in
English or German".

Besides that... I use Transnet to pull in the emails from the account, and
at that point they are in an old *nix format with the mails stored in
matching *.txt/*.wrk files.  It's at that point that I can do anything with
them, whether they be in a digest format or otherwise (as they are at the
moment... in an individual post format).  Actually, I had thought for a
short time to re-format the digest posts into the individual form for
Transnet to do the post, rather than my using Mpost to do so.

I never did actually get to the point of posting echomails with my batch. 
It was at that time that the N2E posts started coming through again. 
Yee-har!  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
