Hi Bo,

I didn't think it could it either.  Matter of fact, I still don't.  :)
.... well... sort of....  


There was some certain sequence or arrangement of the order that things 
happened on his system....  something like that...  its fuzzy now, so don't 
take this as meaning to be 100% correct:

If his software picked up inbound netmail and tossed it to a *.msg msgarea,
then if instead of running his scanner/packer software to pack and route it 
out, if he ran  rex -send ,  perhaps that was when Irex picked up the waiting 
*.msg and sent it on out.

That might be the way it happens.

 BS> I don't know any witch doesn't.

Long ago, I asked somebody this same question, and I believe they knew of one 
or two.
But I agree with you in that it is almost a standard practice, and seems to be 
included in all the most popular scanner/tosser/packer software packages.
I'm glad Squish does it.  :)
