| subject: | FMail does not pack unsent netmail |
Hello Wilfred, On Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 08:27, you wrote to me: NJ>> Thanks for shedding some light on this issue; the approach you NJ>> describe works correctly for all routed netmail.

The problem is that FMail does not generate any .pkt or .flo file in my outbound directory, unless I set the "Pack netm." option of the appropriate node to "Yes" in fsetupx. Or maybe this is just the way FMail is intended to work? WV> But are you also calling fmail with the 'pack' option to make ik pack WV> netmail and put it in the right place to be send by binkd? WV> My script for scanning for echomail and packing netmail looks WV> something like this: WV> ...\fmailw32.exe scan WV> ...\fmailw32.exe pack Yes, I am doing exactly that each time my GoldED exits. And it does find my echomail, and does pack my netmail if the node's "Pack netm." is set to "Yes". So this works fine for all routed netmail now. I just wonder what the correct way would be to send crashmail; do I have to add a node in the node manager for the recipient then?
