If it's send-related (aka fmail scan) then not at this time, thanks. I'm
quietly watching just the tossing activity and monitoring the contents of
the messagebase, while fine-tuning GoldEd... and, loving it.  :)

All the JAM message area paths in Linux form were successfully imported
into FMail from an Areas.Bbs created by my Crashmail II tosser (on this
Linux system).  The netmail & HMB paths are converting correctly by
'fmail toss' using the "FMAIL_REPLACE_DRIVE" envar.

GoldEd is set to use the same Areas.Bbs file that FConfigW32 imported,
together with local handwritten converted paths for the netmail & HMB
areas in its configuration file.  GoldEd has even been config'd to use the
same echo descriptions files as Fmail is supposed to use, so GoldEd looks
normal again.

OTOH, I have noticed a slight weirdness in a local area (but still of
'echomail' type).  There's usually a batch of about 18-20 messages
generated by FastEcho in the area over a period of about 5 seconds each
morning.  They're landing in the Fmail messagebase 'out of order'.

I did go back to FConfigW32 and enable message sorting but the ordering
still didn't seem normal compared with what I see tossed into the Crashmail
messagebase... ermmm, just checking... nah, they check out with GoldEd
(here) as being in the as-created order.

I'll double-double check everything following tomorrow's activity, and
advise formally if needed.

Cheers,
Paul.
