 SR> Not forwarded: #1

 SR> Not forwarded: #8

Ok....  So the problem is routing of netmail, not the message area format.

The above shows me that the messages were not entered on the system tossing
the netmail -- i.e. are from a different fidonet address and to a different
fidonet address than the addres(ses) you configured squish to use.  I
believe the default SQUISH.CFG does not allow forwarding of messages or
files.  I believe you will need to turn on who you will forward to or from,
for messages and/or files.

Take care.....
