Maybe the loging/printing isn't perfect, but this all seems fine. Have you
checked if the mail arrived at it's destination (3:640/384) ?

If you are not certain you can have FMail make backups of outgoing .pkt files
by specifying a "Outgoing backup" directory in FConfig. So you have a way of
checking what's produced without it disappearing because of your mailer (or
other processes) doing their jobs...


Bye, Wilfred.
