Hi,

Michiel already gave a good reply, so I will comment only on parts of your message...

The next release of FMail will be able to reply to those, but you probably
already know that, if you are following this area. ;)

I have had little problems with routed netmail over the years, to and from
Z1 and the other zones as well. But I don't use netmail a lot, and mostly
to my direct links or to people already using echomail so it's likely they
have a working connection. Of course you can't expect any privacy in
netmail, so if that's needed I set the crash bit with my editor, and use
"...\FMailW32.exe pack * /C" to send it out (as explained by
Michiel).


Bye, Wilfred.
