Hi, Paul.

PE>Why did you send me this message about 5 times, in various
PE>stages of construction?

I don't bloody well know, Paul! I noticed it after the packet had gone
('cos I copy everything sent back into my incoming), but I'm damned if I
know how it happened. Certainly I did revisit that message several
times, but I don't know why what happened, happened.

PE> FM> I sent a message to Areafix with 2 requests in it; %LIST and %QUERY. I
PE> FM> was expecting to get back the list of all messages areas in two forms
PE>-
PE> FM> as a file and as a message. The file came back today, with 749 areas
PE> FM> listed.

PE>Yep, and the file was attached to a message, the blank one.  The
PE>subject of the blank message was the file name.  That's how file
PE>attaches work.

Well where was the file attached to the message? The TinyPoint setup
creates an ATTACH directory off the OLX directory, but it wasn't in
there. *I* think the file I got was in response to my %LIST query (it
says it sends it back as a file, how is it "attached" to the message?)

PE> FM> Squalid sent me one blank message, and one with just 150 areas listed.
PE> FM> Also, somehow a PVT Netmail message has appeared in my outbox

PE> FM> it doesn't have a To: :-) I've deleted it.

PE>Eh?  Don't ask me how to run a brain-dead OLR.  Like I say,
PE>POINT.* and MINP_DOS.* are available for FREQ from here.
PE>Plenty of help on how to install and use them too.  PPOINT
PE>is here too.  I'd suggest trying MINP_DOS.*, as if you are
PE>happy with that, it's all freeware stuff.  BFN.  Paul.

Paul, I need to run an OLR because of the other systems I access. I very
much prefer to be able to do the same thing (in this case, run the same
OLR) with everything.

Regards, FIM.
