This seems to only be an issue when you directly link a sysop reader to your
BBS message bases with a built-in tosser. When I setup Golded+ on it's own with
a tosser/mailer, I haven't had this problem. I use goldkeys.cfg and setup f11
to scan out echomail, and f12 to pack netmail. This way I can go through my
entire scan, and not send anything out. Editing, proofreading, etc (with the
occasional miss, of course) can be done wherever you want before the tosser is
actually ran.

Regards,
Nick
