Yes.  Actually a .clo file, but yes....

Unfortunately, this is not testing routing files thru a third party.  But
it does tell me that squish is changing the path is the message.  I need to
contact the other party to make sure the path is edited before squish is
packing the message for sending, but I believe it is, since the message
left on my system is edited on the subject line....  So, this isn't a
complete test of file forwarding.....  But that may come shortly.....

[Ok, Bo....  When you received the netmail with the file attached, what was
the subject line?  Just the file name?  Or was a full path specified?] 


Take care.....
