Hi Oli,

Fileboxes are not BSO compatible. So the behaviour regarding flow files in fileboxes is undefined. So that can cause problems if a tosser and mailer try to access the same files at the same time...

And you would still have hundreds (or even more, if the link remains offline) of .pkt files in that directory. So it doesn't solve anything...

Bye, Wilfred.
