I didn't forget about you, sir!

In the next build I changed it to fix the problem where it could create a double period that you mentioned.  But I also changed how it works to allow for a random hex too:

+ MUTIL ImportEchoMail now has a "dos_filename" option that can be used to
  create JAM filenames in the DOS 8.3 file format.  Valid options are:

    0 = Do not use 8.3 filename (uses echotag for filename)
    1 = Use shortened 8.3 filename (trimmed based on the echotag name)
    2 = Use random hex 8.3 filename

... If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?
