This is more of a matter of what your mailer wants:)
me in win xp with an argus clone the normal flag has it just sit here
basicly hold status. while direct acts like crash and sends it right out.

Hey the doc I got says if you have the arcnetmail on
then the flavor needs to be the same for netmail and echomail
I guess because your bundleing the netmail in with the echomail.
you cant have two *.?lo files pointing at the same bundle.
