That's what I meant too.

I've went from nothing on to everything on as well as trying just some of
them, but I haven't found the right configuration yet.  I'm hoping an RA
sysop could help.

 DW> Here are the settings that work with a GT Power board, so I won't

 DW> [A] Ctrl-A Color Codes           : Expand to ANSI [T] Archive Type

 DW> Include File Attachments     : Yes [D] Delete E-mail Automatically
 DW> : Yes [F] Include New Files List : No [N] Include Index Files : Yes
 DW> [C] Include Control Files        : Yes [V] Include VOTING.DAT
 DW> File      : No [H] Include HEADERS.DAT File : No [Y] Include

 DW> Include Message Path (@VIA)  : No [M] Include Message/Reply
 DW> IDs    : No [U] Include UTF-8 Characters : No [X] Extended (QWKE)

I'll try that, thanks.

 DW> You may also want to check your QWK network software documentation and see
 DW> if it mentions needing/not needing Index, Control, or HEADERS.DAT
 DW> files, or if it supports QWKE (it probably does not!). Then make
 DW> any changes to your configuration settings based on what the
 DW> documentation tells you (if anything).

The documentation just says how to set up the configuration for the software,
nothing about receiving or sending packets, just that it should work.
