You got me Rob:) As far as I know now, ka9q looks for a *.txt and *.wrk
files to send it out for smtp. I unzipped a yarn mail packet and it
looked close but no cigar. I was thinking of trying to write a small
conversion prg to convert to the *.txt/*.wrk format to see if I could
use Yarn as a reader with ka9q. The docs for ka9q are just to spotty for
me to fully understand it's functioning, hence, all my questions:)

Maybe someone will jump in here and lend they expertise with Yarn and
SOUP/KA9Q.
