Allen,

When using HTick for announcements, it will create a text file listing
similar to this for each file:

>Area : DAILYLIST : Daily Fidonet Nodelist
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 nodelist.z58     67225 Daily nodelist Feb. 27 2017
                        Orig: 1:261/38
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 67225 bytes in 1 file(s)

What I do after that is generated, is add a header and footer to the file
with this command:

copy header.txt+announce.txt+footer.txt final.txt

After that, I use the Mystic Mutil commands to post the text file into the
specific message areas. I know the Synchronet has one as well. 

If you use HPT as your mail processor, it can import the text file directly
into the message bases for you as well.

I hope this helps.
