 Yes!  That is by far the easiest way.  Though it's not too hard to
 declare the areas in timed.cfg if you want, say, more than the echotag
 as the description.

 No need for that!
 Timed uses errorlevel exits and you can make a batch file to capture
 them and run Squish as needed, i.e. only if you actually have outgoing
 mail to toss.
 Here's mine:
 ----cut timed.bat----
@echo off
CD D:\timed
timed.exe
if errorlevel 8 goto exit
if errorlevel 7 goto echomail
if errorlevel 6 goto echomail
if errorlevel 5 goto netmail
if errorlevel 4 goto exit
if errorlevel 3 goto echomail
if errorlevel 2 goto echomail
if errorlevel 1 goto netmail
if errorlevel 0 goto exit
:echomail
CD D:\Squish
Squish Out Squash -fd:\max\echotoss.log
CD D:\Max
del echotoss.log
scanbld all
Goto exit
:netmail
CD D:\squish
Squish Squash
CD D:\Max
scanbld all
goto exit
  
:exit
 ----cut----
 This batch file can also be used as a function key exit from Binkley.
 Just call your mailer's batch file after the :exit.
 It also works fine as an icon under Win95, which is how I use it.  :)
 Hope this helps!
