subject: Compression question

Hello, Peter...

From the Squish documentation:

          Following the flavour comes a list of one or more nodes.  Squish
          will search for normal-flavoured, uncompressed mail destined to
          any of the specified nodes, and compress and flavour that mail
          accordingly.  For example, given the following command:

               Send Crash 1:123/456

          Squish would take all normal-flavoured packets for 123/456,
          compress them using the default archiver, and send the compressed
          mail archive to 123/456 using the crash flavour.


Note the repeated reference to "normal-flavoured." That's how I
have always found it to work. The only commands which operate on anything
but normal-flavoured mail are LEAVE, UNLEAVE, and CHANGE. This is mentioned
repeatedly in the documentation of each command.

The example you gave doesn't help, because I don't know what the DEFINEs do
and because I don't know how the mail is flavored by your message editor.


Regards,

Jerry Schwartz
