No, as far as I know, renegade still uses a proprietary msg format that uses 
renemail to convert back and forth for from *.msg. for outgoing mail the 
*.msg is what You want to be fido compatible. Outgoing packets are in *.msg 
format for all systems in a fido atmosphere.

Sorry, wish I could, I don't use argus. You still need a mail tosser, not 
just renemail. I used renemail with gecho back when I ran Renegade. I also 
ran it with squish. So if that is what You are asking, You Do need more than 
just renemail, You need something like squish or gecho to take those *.msg 
files and make packets for You.

Hope this helps a bit.
