funny thing here... i was using FMail on my main system before i switched
to FE... this was before JAM was introduced and at least a few years before
i was asked to join the FE beta team... when i switched, my fingers always
wanted to type "fsetup" so i created a bat file that i still use
today to load FE's setup program ;) :) :)

something else to note about many setup programs... quite many of them are
fashioned after the FD/FE style... even allfix... i forget where the style
actually started but back in the day it was easily recognizable and
extremely easy for folks to jump between tools using the format and
layout... FMail is close but twisted askew just slightly...

you really should take a look at these other tools and see what they do ;)
