yeah, not... FA generally need to be sent directly to the other system... some
systems do allow for routing file attaches but there are many that still do
not... i used to allow routed FA through my old system but i don't think my new
 one does...

very true... those so-called file attaches are actually uuencoded, xxencoded,
or MIME encoded and so are actually in the body of the message... they also
take 1/3rd more space than FTN file attaches which go "in the raw"...
