Hello All,

Just have a couple questions regarding some configuration options in fidoconfig:

1) When using "hpt pack" sometimes it seems to mark recently
written echomail messages with the "Snt" flag, whether or not
"PackNetmailOnScan" is set anywhere (even though that would be
reverse from what seems to be happening here, so shouldn't matter anyways).

2) ProcessPkt - Can (or should) this be used for processing Filefix
requests? As of right now, I have a script executed from binkd called
poll.sh that runs:

/usr/local/bin/hpt toss link
/usr/local/bin/hpt ffix!
/usr/local/bin/hpt pack

Which seems to work fine, but if ProcessPkt can be used to run
"/usr/local/bin/hpt ffix!" I may not need it in my polling
script, and could just run "hpt toss link" directly.

Also, feature request: When "hpt ffix[!]" actually does process a
filefix request, can we have an option to automatically pack the netmail
replies? This would save time and resources on running "hpt pack"
every time when it is not needed most of the time. This would or could
somewhat mimic the "Areafix requests on the fly" method.
htick.texi seems to say "Filefix requests on the fly" but the
same options areafix has are not available for filefix (ie: AreafixFromPkt
is available, while FilefixFromPkt is not an option).

With the feature request, then the need/want for ProcessPkt wouldn't be necessary.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Nick
