Hello Wilfred,

 WV> That would be more clear.

But even more clear is what the on-line help says:

D:\IM\FMAIL>fmailw32 pack ?
FMail-W32-1.66 - The Fast Echomail Processor

Copyright (C) 1991-2013 by FMail Developers - All rights reserved

Usage:

    FMail Pack [ [ ...] [VIA ] [/A]
[/C] [/H] [/O] [/I] [/L]]

Here it is more clear that a list of nodenumbers may be enetered. (But the
on-line he;lp does not mention the EXCEPT keyword. So I suggest:


           FMail Pack [  [...]
                        [EXCEPT  [...]]
                        [VIA |HOST]
                        [/A] [/C] [/H] [/I] [/L] [/O]
                      ]

Also... maybe I do not have the latest doc... but it says:

Five switches may be used:

/A        Do not process AreaMgr requests

/C        Include messages with Crash status. Normally these
          messages will not be packed.

/H        Include messages with Hold status. Normally these
          messages will not be packed.

/O        Include orphaned messages. Normally these messages will
          not be packed.

/I        Only pack messages that are in transit. Normally all
          netmail messages destined for other nodes will be
          packed.

/L        Only pack messages that originated on your system.
          Normally all netmail messages destined for other nodes
          will be packed.

"Five", but I actually count six.

That would be a good idea...


Cheers, Michiel
