That's exactly my setup! ;)

I'm not sure if that's the way it's done, but as long as the .pkt file is
mentioned in the .flo file, binkd will send out uncompressed pkt files,
just like compressed files... (And maybe binkd picks up uncompressed pkt
files directly?)

But are you also calling fmail with the 'pack' option to make ik pack
netmail and put it in the right place to be send by binkd?

My script for scanning for echomail and packing netmail looks something like this:


...\fmailw32.exe scan
...\fmailw32.exe pack


Bye, Wilfred.
