Grab my KA9QFIDO.ZIP archive and look in the SMTP-IN.ZIP. SMTP-OUT.ZIP and
NNTP-IN.ZIP archives for samples of each as generated by KA9Q (DIS variant).

Yes.  More SMTP systems are coming up though so supporting both is a good idea.

But...they do need UUMail to gate it after they get it....sounds good!  I would
also like to see two simple programs ...

1)  Convert from KA9Q format (*.TXT/*.WRK and BATCH.TXT) to true UUCP format.
2)  Convert from true UUCP format to KA9Q format (*.TXT/*.WRK).

This would allow any gating software and other software to work flawlessly.
