Thanks for your reply.  I know about how to get into the stuff in the
out box and reply packet to edit or delete it.
What I am trying to do is forward an echo
message to my friend's private email on the BBS.  When I look in the out
box reply packet, it shows only one message being forwarded.  After the
BBS unpacks it, it briefly shows duplicate messages were uploaded even
though there was only one in the reply packet.
As an experiment, I forwarded one back to myself last night.  Again, one
message in the reply packet, but duplicates unpacked and verified on the
BBS.  My BBS is Tenforward in Port Angeles.  They run the newest
Wildcat! software, and I have the newest Qmpro OLX, so they should be
compatible.
Any further thoughts?
David
