So what you're saying is, writing a new netmail in the "FTN Netmail" area works? If that's true, I'm guessing you don't /receive/ netmail there, as it goes in the "Synchronet E-Mail" area instead?

If that is the case, I suppose maybe when you receive a netmail in "Synchronet E-Mail", maybe you could reply to it (using ALT-N so you can choose a different area to write to) in the "FTN Netmail" area.. Hmm..

Also, before I forget, you can't use 'smbutil' to pack/renumber your message bases when using Golded, either. This is pretty common/standard with any external message reader that doesn't share message/newscan pointers, though. You'll end up with something like *123048979 new messages in each area 'smbutil' renumbers, and Golded won't know where you left off, so it'll start back at the first message.

Nick
