Yes, still not sure waht file it's complaing about as it processes other
masks properly, whereas if its config file were not to its liking it
wouldn't.

Hard to get to without the variable for the subject however, as it could
change. I was under the impression that the [subject] token would send
literal text of subject field to the program being invoked as arguments.
this from reading the docs anyway.
FOr our example, i send "boatfinder" a netmail from my point with
a subject of kg4yfm.
          ITs' then going to invoke the batch which searches log files for
that callsign, returns all matchesin the body of the bounce.

DOcs show an example for running pgp on a file, but from reading them still
unclera what I"m missing.

Pored over them a couple of times and thought I was there.  Another look
later after dinner of course is in the works, but ...

Regards,
           Richard
