Dunno, isn't that more a function of route.cfg ?  The squish docs are
amongst the most atrociously cryptic I've ever read, but they give me the
impression that the File keyword would allow echomail attaches if everybody
used it.

Now that's a novel idea!  I shall uuencode all 22 of my OS/2 fullpack disk
images and echomail attach them to you forthwith.
