 SQ>> points.  Nice, sturdy mailer, but man, I hate Bink-style outbounds.
 TK> Funny. I hate arcmail-outbound. :)

It's like arguing which FOSSIL is best.  I do have one downlink who uses it, 
believe it or not. :-)  Also, I should take credit for getting Xenia's FREQ 
flag listed at the bottom of the Zone 1 nodelist. <g>

 TK> But if I understand right, that
 TK> is past in Frodo..

It's not completely gone, but yes, FrontDoor has its static queue, much like 
the one D'Bridge has had for some time (and no doubt the inspiration for Joho's 
implementation).  I still have some utilities, like MakeNL, that write to the 
netmail folder and create attachments, and frankly, I'm too lazy to use the M2Q 
utility to move them to the static queue, given that I'm going to get rid of 
them anyways.

 SQ>> Is there some kind of utility out there that will suck files from a
 SQ>> Bink outbound and dump the contents into a spool/filebox directory?
 TK> Allfix can do that. Also can OT/Track. I'm using both here.
 SQ>> Irex will do that, I know, but something simple and cheap would be
 SQ>> nice,if it exists.

OT/Track will fit that bill, given that it's freeware.  I've already registered 
AllFix (as you know :) and Irex, and will give Peter the money for OT/Track 
when I'm comfortable, but I'm looking for something for points and so forth.
