subject: fmail not packing crash-netmail?

Hello Wilfred,

On Monday November 11 2013 16:29, you wrote to me:

 MvdV>>            FMail Pack [  [...]

 WV> " [...]" == "..."

 WV> So I prefer the shorter form. (That's how the linux man-pages specify

But... but, the users of Fmail aren't Linux people... There is a DOS
version and a Windows version. No Linux version...

Plus that if you want a Linux "look and feel" you have to replace
the '/'as the switch prefix by '-'.

 MvdV>> "Five", but I actually count six.

 WV> Indeed! Good catch! ;)

Maube just say "The following switches... " That avoids making
same the mistake again when a seventh switch is added.

 WV> Bye, Wilfred.

Cheers, Michiel
