If you use a BSO mailer, there is absolutely no need to use *.MSG for
interBBS games. You can simply create a dummy netmail area, let the game
produce those files, move your game packets to a filebox to get sent off to
your uplink, and then delete the contents of the dummy netmail area
containing those game .MSG files. Easy peasy. Those .MSG files are only for
AMA (Arcmail attach) style mailers. BSO doesn't need them whatsoever.

Regards,
Nick
