  Nope, I use a local Maximus node to do all my reading and writing of 
messages.  I think the problem was that I wasn't running scanbld after every 
change to the netmail message area.  I'm pretty new to running a BBS on an 
MSDOS platform so I'm still trying to get the hang of getting FrontDoor, 
FastEcho and Maximus to co-operate properly. :)
