Hi Ross,

On 2014-04-22 18:04:36, you wrote to me:

Ok, just checking if you are using the latest GPL release, or maybe even
the latest release by Folkert...

This seems rather strange behavior, if you are restarting it every time...

Pity... I could of course do the same as you, create a message base with
fastecho, and work from there. But there are more important things
regarding fmail to put my time in. ;)

Not any more... It must be at least 10 years ago when I last used it...

Bye, Wilfred.
