You should not be allowed to switch ^aFLAGS off. A *.msg header do not
support all attribute, so we need FLAGS there.

About PID.. OK it is not a demand, but I can't se it is a big problem ,-)

That is properly be course you normally don't use FLAGS in echomail, and
Msged allow you to select between --- msged 4.30 and no PID, and --- AND a
PID.

Whats is be course it is a feauter there isn't in msged, but it is not a
stupid idea I put it on the todo list.

hmmm. This should do the trick:
 --------
{at}nThis is the first line.
{at}n
{at}nthis is the 3'ed line.
 --------

It should make and output like this:
 --------
This is the first line.

this is the 3'ed line.

I look into that, is sound a little strange. I'll look into it and return
the a answer.

Thanks for the nice word, but I'm not alone there are more than just me :)
