 Er, you have specified a place for the netmail to go, haven't you?
 In Msgarea.ctl this needs to be something like this:
 MsgArea NET
        ACS     Normal/s
        Desc    NetMail
        Barricade Message D:\max\anet.acs
        TAG     Netmail
        Path    D:\binkley\mail\netmail
        
 End MsgArea
 In Squish.cfg, you set the netarea to the same path:
 NetArea         NETMAIL         D:\binkley\mail\netmail -$
 LR> Any other ideas? (anybody?)
 Is Max exiting with the proper error level after you write a netmail?
 Have you tried it with a reader such as timEd or Golded?
