 DC>> You should be able to do that via your regular mail packet.  
 NB>> No, that's the problem we are dealing with at Doc's...
 DC> It appears that at least some of the problem is at DOC's end, then.  

Yup.

 DC> There has to be something in his settings.  
 
Could be.  Or it could be a bug in the door.

 DC>> Are you getting an Echo called "Private" or
"Netmail" or something

 NB> It's called "Netmail" and is area 1 at Doc's.  (And, you
should know,
 NB> it isn't an echo, but an area... )

 DC> True!  I'm more used to just calling them Echos.  

Yeah, sometimes I get sloppy on that too... but in trying to teach
others how to get into this hobby, I learned to be much more precise,
and to differentiate between local areas, outgoing areas, echoing areas,
and the internet Usenet groups and the mailing lists.  Each has a
slightly different flavor and customs, and works just enough differently
that it can trip up the newbie.
