This sounds strange, The LOCal attribuste shoudn't identify the local
originated messages like the one we write with our editor in our msgbase?

Once exported in a mail packet the LOCal attribute shouldn't be trimmed to
zero?

I did some tests with my golded and HPT as tosser these are the results:

NETMAIL: 
- Message saved without the LOC (Local) Attribute: EXPORTED.
- Message saved with the LOCK (Locked) Attribute: NOT EXPORTED.

ECHOMAIL: 
- Message saved without the LOC (Local) Attribute: NOT EXPORTED.
- Message saved with the LOCK (Locked) Attribute: NOT EXPORTED.

What do you think about it?

Many thansk again. :)
