:lol: believe it or not, i have looked at the code and saw right quickly what
appears to be the main problem(s) for like three or four bugs... moving the one
small code block up maybe 10 lines should take care of three of those... one
not even discovered yet ;)  then a small modification to pull in a complient
MSGID serial number and things should be good to go...

i've started that numerous times :smile:  i have several pieces of a mailer and
a tosser laying about that i still think about working on from time to time ;)

i hear ya ;)  i think we'll have at least this MSGID thing worked out... at
least if i've read the code properly... it compiles but someone else has to
test it... i don't have a renegade installation to test it against...

FWIW: i kinda expect that if the code for GTPower's mail tool is as easy to
follow, it won't take very long to fix it like this, either O:)
