Yes agreed. The subject in the Netmail message is of not concern as it is not
processed by the program. The mailer just drops off all attachments to the
inbound directory where the program will process it from.

That is all fine for mbse the important thing is that the .ECO file has the
correct keywords.

These are not in the .RUL file as that is just lines of text that will be
copied over to a .RUL file with the name of the echo i.e., MBSE.RUL

Mbse does have that as a facilty in theory but I tried and failed to get it to
work.  That said It serves me no real purpose and if anything is a pain as
without using it,  I know all outbound files/message etc are in the same area
for all links.
