Listen... I  have only really played with fmail... I use fastecho.. Since I
have a registered copy of fastecho I use that.  Anyway, fast echo will toss
*.pkts raw I think it's done them straight from the inbound directory... or
maybe it had to be moved over to the tempory directory where fastecho
extracts bundles and then tosses from there.

Do U know what I just did.... I looked at fastecho's setup and there's a
*.pkt under archive setup.  I would assume that means no archive.

Have U looked at that piece of software??

Joe
