Hi Matt,

Understood.

Maybe that's why, once upon a time when I inquired, ... I don't recall
anybody replying that they had succesful experience with using this feature
of Squish.
At that time, I never considered what you said above.


 MB> I suspect that it is indeed a bug. 

I gave enough detail to convice you, huh?   :)
Thank you - and all - for reading that lengthy post.

And interesting work-around.  

But, at present, my purpose in commenting here in TUB, was to share my
experience with these wonderful folks that are working on Max and Squish.

Beyond that, it just sorta bugs me.   Because it is there, it should work.
And there is always that nagging feeling that is nothing wrong with the
software, but that bright-boy here is missing the boat.  :)
I'd like to find out...one way or another... is it really a bug, or just me?


I have FTrack.   Would that be the one to which you refer?  I played with
it and set up a  "PingBot"  that any sysop can use for testing
routed netmail.  I got the idea from a feature in... Allfix I think it
was...  anyway, its a neat toy, that some sysops find very handy.   

This idea of yours goes on the to-do list.  Very low for now, though.  
Thanks.
