Hello Joe,

 JD> Thanks for the reply, and for volunteering to help.  

No problem.. :)

 JD> In the meantime, please let me ask you a few questions.

Sure, fire away..

 JD> From your statement above it appears that you and the 
 JD> other two nodes involved all communicated via direct 
 JD> POTS polling.  True?

Yes, mind you that was 6 - 8 years ago now.. :))

 JD> Is your system FD style or Bink Style?   and while we 
 JD> are on that,  what was your frontend software then?

Bink style. I was either using the original BinkleyTerm or
Portal of Power (Binkley style outbound) in those days.

 JD> Here's one that may be difficult to get into postion to 
 JD> answer:   When a netmail with a file attached is sent 
 JD> to your system, upon tossing it, and reading the 
 JD> netmail,  exactly what appears in the subject line?
 JD> Just the filename.ext? or a fully qualified path+filename.ext  ?

Just a filename.ext, at least that's what we hope for. I have
noticed at times when I get a file attach from a dynamic mailer
like FD or IM I get the fully qualified path from the senders
system. That might create a problem if you want to forward the
attached file on to another node. I'm not sure if squish would
be able to find the file and send it on it's way or not in a
case like that..

Might have to experiment a bit in that case and see what happens.

 Ttyl :-),
