Hi Walter,  


[...]
 JD>> It is being forwarded through my node.  That's the whole point ... 
 JD>> for me to be able to route a netmail with a file attached, through my
 JD>> system. :)

 WM> But wouldn't *you* have to forward it someplace if it wasn't intended 
 WM> for you or any points you may have?

Exactly. 


 JD>>> I suspect it has to do with Squish not being able
 JD>>> to find the file, as
 JD>>> the subject line of the netmail contains a path .... apparently
 JD>>> it is the path at the original sender's machine.   When the file
 JD>>> arrives here, it lands in the inbound directory. I didn't see any
 JD>>> way in Squish.cfg to tell Squish where to look for file attachs
 JD>>> like this. Perhaps I missed it.....
 JD>>
 WM>>> I'll bet the file is in *your* inbound directory, and
 JD>>
 JD>> Yes, it is.  See above.

 WM> I would think you'd have to diddle something to make Squish look in 
 WM> your inbound, or whatever directory the file may be moved to on your 
 WM> machine, to have it seen.

Yes.  Exactly.


 WM>>> you may have to generate a separate email pointing to
 WM>>> it in the subject line.
 JD>>
 JD>> Do you mean - generate a seperate netmail manually?   If so, that
 JD>> would defeat the purpose of allowing a file attach to be forwarded
 JD>> .... it needs to be handled automatically, by Squish.

 WM> Are these random files that are being forwarded?

No - not completely random files.

Also      Did you mean - generate a sperate netmail manually?  If so, that 
would defeat the purpose of allowing a file attach to be forwarded.  It needs 
to be handled automatically, by Squish.
