Does this newer version allow me to forward a reply to netmail? I would have
done so here had this version allowed it.

....As I read. I do RTFM somtimes. <G>

 MN> Your configuration file should look something like this:
 MN> c:\MultiMail directory\pkunzip -# -o
 MN> c:\MultiMail directory\pkzip -#

....As sometimes I delete TFM. It's been so long since I purged the 204g docs, I
couldn't find them again. What pray tell is the '-#' switch?

Thanks for writing, and sorry for cluttering up the echo. As soon as I get in
front of an I-Net account I'll be sure to update.

PS: It still didn't work. "Bad packet(/file)" orsome such was displayed in the
bottom corner of MM, and then it returned the same error message as before.
(The #1 entry in theFAQ.) I had tried '-oq' prior to asking with the same
results. My pk(un)zip executables are in my PATH, and this DOS version ofMM
works on the same packets that the 32-bit version coughs on. I'm running on
W98, and the BBS uses Mystic and a QWK door. (Sheesh... I'm not so bashfull
about posting publicly *now*. ;-)
