Hello All!

   1. Is there any possibility to specify the maximum size of echo bundles
which are being packed for the particular links? If yes, how can one get access
to it? I'd like to have larger bundles for the big nodes, smaller bundles for
small nodes, the more small bundles for points etc.

   2. It's very convenient that FMail's configurator has the Browser function
implemented for the specified links and echoes. Nevertheless, the quick search
function is extremely lacking here. Imaging there are very large amount of
links (nodes and points) and echoes (about 100 nodes and about several thousand
echoes); I'd like to have a possibility to search the required information
quickly.

   3. I feel really upset about the menu "Miscelanneous -> Personal Mail".
Firstly, I totally misunderstand why the directory with the Personal Mail has a
restriction on storing the mail only in .MSG format? As well as I understand,
it's much more convenient to allow processing of this mail in the format of the
main database - e.g., JAM. In this case, it's much more convenient also to
store rather large database of a personal echomail; also, any search can be
performed more effectively on this database when required. Another problem of
this menu is related to completely unclear restriction on the Personal Mail
folder name. E.g., I'm trying to assign a name "MY_ARCMAIL" to this folder in
FMail's setup; it yields to creation of a folder with a name "MY_ARCMA" on a
hard disk. If I'm trying to give a name "PVT.OLEG.ARCMAIL" to this directory,
the system warns me that it's impossible to create a directory with such names
and suggests me to change it, like I used some illegal characters or made
another rough mistake in this name. The system only accepts and processes in a
right way the name of this directory if it's formed in an old DOS format 8.3.
Is it really so important to use just an old 8.3 format? It would be a good
idea to have an ability to process all possible files and directories names
which can exist in the modern OS Windows. The more, FMail doesn't position
itself as a cross-platform tosser, it's intended just for use in Windows.

   4. I haven't found yet how to manage the allow / decline possibility echoes
auto-creation on the particular links level. Imaging I need to allow the
auto-creation just to the particular links group (or just to the particular
links); the auto-creation must be declined for all other. Is it possible? If
no, I'd very like to see it implemented in the next releases.

   5. Do any tools exist for announcing of appearance of a new echo in the
configurator? It's especially important for the echoes which are created
automatically due to auto-creation function described above. I haven't found
yet how to do it. In some other tossers (e.g., FastEcho) this function is
implemented by means of automatic creation of a message which may be posted in
appropriated announces echo.

   6. The wish about using the environment variables as %var% remains actual.
It applies to the paths, directories names and any other places where it may be
convenient.

   7. The configuration import from others tossers works not correctly enough
yet. In particular, rather a complicated configuration of nodes and echoes from
FastEcho can be imported more or less successfully (for which I'm grateful to
you) but many parameters have to be corrected manually after it. For example,
what prevents the Origins or echobase files names and paths from being imported
automatically? At the sime time, the subscribers list for this echo is being
imported correctly, as well as some other important parameters. Is it possible
to improve the configuration import operation and to minimize the necessity of
manual corrections?


   That's all. I'm sorry for the long delay with this answer, but, obviously, I
needed some time to verify the functionality qualitatively and to describe my
wishes in detail. It seems there will be more notices and questions, but later.
Once more - thank you very much for an interesting, useful and well-timed
program FMail!

WBR, Oleg                           Saturday July 12 2014
