They are and with some investigation I think I figured it out. I think FE made
an outbound directory for Retronet called RETRONET.050 (0x50 being the zone 
apparently) and BinkD was looking in a directory c:\binkd\retronet.  So I
copied over the mail and it seemed to send.  So I think that FastEcho created
the wrong 5D outbound for some reason.  Hopefully it's correct next time it
sends mail out as you can't select an outbound directory with an extension in
BinkD.

Worst case I'll just have to move the outbound files over to the right 
directory during mail time.
