        Man..its been about 2 years..yes it does...but I can't
        seem to recall the 100% details.  Basically you have
        to get the msgs into the system through the 3 methods
        Jam/squish or netmail format.  man...I'm trying to
        think..it does but for some reason I just can't
        recall it.  Check the docs out to see what it
        says about the Interent email format type.

        If I have time I'll do some tinkering and get
        back to you on this..

        But you'll still have to use some transport
        like IREX to bring the NGs to your system
        and then treat oh yeah that's it..

        Seems when I set it up I downloaded the NGs
        as normal mail packets (*.pkt).  Then my
        tosser gecho treated it as a 'echo' but
        it just sent it to the board. As a normal
        echo.  The TG msg base treated it as a normal
        echomail base with network addresses of your
        download point address.  But that's pretty
        much the nutshell..if your asking if TG
        can import it directly without tossers and
        something like IRex no.  Just takes a bit
        of work but it is doable.
