you still haven't explained what happened to the .th0 that should have

been sent. .th2 contained all the stuff that i would have expected in

.th0. if mail is refused, does squish immediately repack it into another

package, and send it again because that is what would have had to have

happened. how is mail refused? afaik all of the transfer is handled by

the two binkleys, mine hasn't been touched for 12 months, you seem to be

fudging yours on a fairly regular basis so where is the greatest

probability of the the problem being? (hint: at your end (: )
