Subj : Compression question To : Peter Knapper From : Jerry Schwartz Date : Wed Jul 23 2003 03:28 pm Hello, Peter... From the Squish documentation: Following the flavour comes a list of one or more nodes. Squish will search for normal-flavoured, uncompressed mail destined to any of the specified nodes, and compress and flavour that mail accordingly. For example, given the following command: Send Crash 1:123/456 Squish would take all normal-flavoured packets for 123/456, compress them using the default archiver, and send the compressed mail archive to 123/456 using the crash flavour. Note the repeated reference to "normal-flavoured." That's how I have always found it to work. The only commands which operate on anything but normal-flavoured mail are LEAVE, UNLEAVE, and CHANGE. This is mentioned repeatedly in the documentation of each command. The example you gave doesn't help, because I don't know what the DEFINEs do and because I don't know how the mail is flavored by your message editor.
