Shit.

Fairly gross problem with TinyPoint, or more specifically MAKEMAIL.BAT

The problem is with the unzipping of the PKTs, and the > null
on the ends of those lines.

If you dont have enough free space, its quite possible for that to
just fail to unzip one of the largest PKTs out of the archived PKT
without a single hint of a problem, just silently carrys on regardless
and a whole chuck of mail goes straight into the bin forever.

I havent done anything about a fix, the BATs in general suffer from
the same problem, make no allowance at all for a lack of free space
and usually just carry on regardless, usually with the error message
completely suppressed too.
