 The problem that I had was that when I only put my Boss node on the
 configuration line for the echos, Squish refused to pack the outgoing
 mail for him, because it saw that his node was already in the SEEN-BY
 (when in fact it was really mine that was there).  To over come that,
 what I have had to do as a work around is to tell SQUISH that I want to
 distribute the echo to one of his other node numbers (and allow receipt
 from his first node number).
 I.e. here are a few lines from my config file:
 EchoArea  COOKING         E:\IM\MAIL\SQ\COOKING    -$d45    1:261/1137 1180
 EchoArea  MUFFIN          E:\IM\MAIL\SQ\MUFFIN     -$d7     1:261/1137 1180
 Why didn't what you say work for me? (i.e. having only 261/1137 on the
 distribution for the echos?)
