Hi, Paul.

PE>Yeah, the only problem with that theory is that Bob Lawrence,
PE>Brenton Vettoretti and Dieter Mirbach have been conversing in
PE>echomail and netmail for the last week or so using 2.22.  So

That's probably enough beta testing to justify me upgrading. :-)

PE> PE>> AND TODAY YOU SENT A MESSAGE TO AREAFIX, AND IT WENT TO ZONE

PE> FM> But I don't want it to come back to me! Do I have to put a To:
PE> FM> 3:711/934.0 in there? SDUSRMAN.DOC doesn't say anything about that.

PE>Of course you have to put a "To:" in there to send any netmail
PE>when using QWK.  I'm surprised your brain-dead QWK readers
PE>don't force you to put it in.  If you don't want it to come

PE>doesn't go to a random destination that way.  The random
PE>destination might be 1:1/1 and your password gets transmitted
PE>over the world.  And of course SDUSERMAN.DOC doesn't say
PE>anything about it, it is a facet of stupid QWK netmail instead
PE>of using the proper PKT method in the first place which you would

PE>Anthony, me, Paul M, etc NEVER EVER have to worry about stupid
PE>things like sticking in a "To:".

Now, Paul, don't beat around the bush; tell us what you *really*
think. :-)

PE> PE>> Yeah, a separate archive for each problem thanks.

PE> FM> OK, the zero length seems easy to reproduce, I'll send that first.

PE>I'm surprised you haven't sent me anything yet, but I'm not
PE>complaining, I'm still trying to figure out this bloody
PE>LINK386 problem.  Only one day of holidays left.  :-(
PE>BFN.  Paul.

Holidays are great if you use them to get done all those things you
don't get done 'cos you have to go to work. When you go away, "things to
do" (like 13 days of E-mail) still accumulate. I'm not caught up, yet.

Regards, FIM.
