 JH> So the packet itself *seems* to be ok, there's no area on the message,

It's a quite simple program. It only shows the contents of the pkt and message
headers inside the .pkt file. It skips the text part, including the kludges it
contains.

 JH> but Mystic isn't seeing the message as netmail.  Could it be because
 JH> of the PKT password?

No.

 JH> Just not sure what makes a netmail message.. netmail:

The only distinction is the AREA:XXX line an echomail contains as first line of
the text of a message. And a .pkt file can contain both at the same time, and
in no particular order...


Bye, Wilfred.
