Thank you for confirming that.  As you are now familiar with my lack of  
reading the fine print, prior to this I decided to be a bit more careful  
and *not* just do a regular unpack over the old.  Good to hear that an  
"update" via unpack does not write over existing config settings.

I deleted it.  Not knowing what the " F" character meant was bothering  
me.  They don't seem to be talked about in the Helps.

But now, I can't seem to add a file attach anymore.  :(   No matter.  It's  
not an expected feature of fidonet/netmail anyway.


Just curious, are file attaches popular in the othernets with OpenXP?
