Hi! Rick,

I only use Netmgr on netmail areas.  The /SVN/xmsgapi/doc notes that...

                            ---===[ * * * ]===---
This is the first release of XMSGAPI.  Some new bugs may be introduced.
SDM support has not been tested thoroughly.

This library is based on smapi-2.2, however the code has been cleaned
up, modified, and ported to a number of additional compilers.  Note that
due to unresolved bugs and/or incomplete code in api_jam.c, JAM support
is currently not compiled into the library by default.  Also, it is not
yet possible to generate a DLL of the XMSGAPI.  These issues may be
corrected in a future release.
                            ---===[ * * * ]===---

I can tell you after having used it, that netmgr will carry out copy/move 
actions to a JAM nemail 'definition' but treats it as a directory path.  I.e., 
the resultant netmails end up at the bottom of a tree rooted by an exclamation 
point, from where the executable was called from.

For over 24 years I have used MSG but have also used what's called a 
'secondary' area for my own personal mail, freeing the primary area for junk 
that has to happen with mailer & tosser software (e.g. areafix, PINGs, etc).  
It has usually been another MSG area but in recent years I have developed a 
preference for a JAM area, which can be presented with the JamNNTPd server (of 
course).

Cheers,
Paul.
