Hi Ross,

You haven't answered this?

I never heard of such a case, but I don't think many people use fastecho
concurrently with fmail on the same message base. ;)

But to be able to do anything with this, I will have to reproduce it, which
means I need some message base files from before the switch to fmail, your
fmail config files, and an example pkt file to toss with fmail, which
causes the symptoms. Would that be possible at all? But I'm wondering would
it be worth the trouble, considering the rarity of the use-case.

Indeed it would. ;)

You should be more specific on what you definition of logical is in this
case. ;) I don't know what fastechos or RA's config program looks like.
But I don't think I'm gonna do a complete make-over of how fsetup works
anyway, the current userbase is used to how things work. But of course that
doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement on some of the specifics...

Bye, Wilfred.
