Thanks for shedding some light on this issue; the approach you describe
works correctly for all routed netmail.  (Although I have to check whether
crashmail is packed correctly as well; I think that may cause some
problems.)  I don't think I can teach binkd to send non-packed netmail,
though, but maybe I should move that issue over to the appropriate echo.
:-)

Kind regards,
Niels
