I don't have to try! ;)

They are automatically generated when I compile the complete project. All
different versions are now on the two mirrors. Just go to:

http://fmail-mirror-1.sytes.net/files/  or:
http://fmail-mirror-2.sytes.net/files/

And get what you want...

It works in the W32 version, I use it regularly...

Interesting! ;)

I don't intend to... I have asked Folkert, but haven't got a reply yet.
We'll see when he does...

 MK>>> Micha, echo executor of FMAIL_HELP.GER

 WvV>> Please spread the word! ;)

 MK> Executor? Administrate by doing nothing a long time dead echo?

If the area still exists, there might be some people still reading it... So
just forward the announcement (if the area exists).

Bye, Wilfred.
