If you were to try out Termail which is either JAM or .msg and the
autopacking is called in the .cfg file it does not take any longer to pack
than it does squish with the following:

Squishp in out squash link -fechotoss.log, this is part of my mail.cmd

If you can do a search for Gerard J. van der Land the author of TMUTILS he
might be able to help out with the JAM support.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
