PE>>> 2.  You don't get your own messages back. If something is wrong with

 PE>>> your message format, you'll never know until someone tells you. It

 PE>>> would be better if your uploaded messages were added to the
downloaded

 PE>>> packet.



 PM>> After you convert your .REP to .PKT, copy the .PKT to the directory that

 PM>> TinyPoint downloads into. It should then be processed with the rest of

 PM>> the downloaded mail.



 PE> It'll have the wrong from and to addresses though, at least on the

 PE> packet.



PQWK probably doesn't care what's in the packet header does it. Besides,
it'd be easy to write something to fiddle the header if neccessary.



 PE> The message themselves you won't be able to tell any difference.

 PE> Then again, if you create a dummy packet, the pktjoin program won't care

 PE> about that!  And Brenton's already creating a dummy packet.  This one

 PE> will just have a different address.  BFN.



If you're joining multiple packets, then you don't know which one you'll
get the header from.
