Hi! rick,

 rc> I have gotten setup with a node, changed the crashmail.prefs to that node.

Neat...

 rc> Did my Areafix, and added some echos.. but when importing them I get:

 rc> ! 23-Oct-16 22:09:37 Failed to read message #55 in JAM messagebase
 rc> "/home/rec9140/fido/jam/BINKD"
 rc> ! 23-Oct-16 22:09:37 Failed to read message #56 in JAM messagebase

[ ...let's concentrate on one echo... ]
 rc> Also creating a reply or new message, does NOT EXPORT...

Mmm...

 rc> I even created a TESTECHO.... same... doesn't export the message.

Mmm...

This is the BINKD echo definition in my CM II prefs...

[...]
AREA "BINKD" 3:640/1384.0 JAM "/opt/ftn/fido/msgbase/40e2a7c3"
EXPORT 3:640/384.0 2:221/0.0
DESCRIPTION "The BinkD TCP/IP FTN mailer"
GROUP F
KEEPNUM 4000
[...]

It's the same one that CrashExport uses to feed to Golded.  Ignoring the path, how does the AREA line differ from yours?

 rc> NETMAIL WORKS FINE! Echos do NOT export.

Mmm... you managed to do something right.  ;)

 rc> $ crashmail VERSION
 rc> This is CrashMail II version 0.71

Mine is the same, though it's a local compile from the original (i.e. the author's).

Cheers,
Paul.
