I've noted that.

Got my runexternal solved, saw it sent me a message back at another address
and did what it should.

which is why netmgr then moves one to another area .
Just thought it might work in a compliant way with ping flag due to the
bounce functions.

THought you were using that one for this.  I've seen it in your file database.

FOund out the runexternal works as I expect it to and that will help me
when away from home and a couple of friends. MOre in subsequent netmail
.
