AHH!! that sounds like xxcarol has her system processing her sbbs netmail
area and packing the game messages like would be done on a FD style dynamic
mailer setup...

 TY> I have to manually open the file itself and read what I can.

since you can open the PKTs to read them, what name are the packed messages
being sent to? once you know that, you can go into your ini file that mutil
is using to toss the mail with and have it automatically readdress those
netmails when it imports them... see below for what to look for in the PKTs...

eg:
[ImportEchomail]
forward = BattleNet Game;Todd Yatzook

that'll forward messages "To: BattleNet Game" to your name... just set
"BattleNet Game" to whatever name the messages are to... you can have several
forward lines... there may be a limit of five but i'm not sure without
digging back into the mystic whatsnew file... in any case, you'll want to add
a line for each one if you want to be able to actually look at them in
mystic...

yeah, you won't be able to toss them into your badmessages area since they
are netmail and badmessages is for undefined echomail areas ;)

when you look at the raw PKT file, look for the date and the time... the next
field is the To: name and the one after that is the From: name and then the
subject... there will be nul characters (seen as 00 in HEX) between each
field until you get to the end of the binary header... you don't say what
tool you are using to look at the raw PKTs with so i can't say how they will
appear in that tool...
