Hello Martin,

No having much luck with my JAM message base:
     
I was able to list and read and even post my own messages to my sample FIDOTEST 
area, but today when I decided I'd like to delete a bunch of the old messages, 
Sempoint crashed and produced this:

05/25/2019  07:19 PM           162,203 FIDOTEST.JDT
05/26/2019  05:07 PM             1,520 FIDOTEST.JDX
05/26/2019  05:13 PM     4,294,967,371 FIDOTEST.JHR
05/26/2019  05:13 PM                32 FIDOTEST.JLR

I originally created the set of jam files with Apoint.  Copied them over to a 
place where Sempoint would use them. I configured the FIDOTEST area manually 
with Sempoint.. and voila, the messages listed fine.  I even added a few of my 
own messages as test posts.

So.. this is a BAD idea.

Meanwhile, I found out the SAME thing happens with an jam area created with 
SEM!  I can enter/post a message fine.  But as soon as I go back to C)hange the 
message (to adjust the subject, for example)  ..the program goes ballistic and 
produces a 4GB+ .jhr file!

The above problem does NOT happen with a Squish base.

If anyone can duplicate or verify this, that would be great.

Since Crashmail only supports jam or msg, this is not looking good for SEM 
w/Jam + Crashmail combo.
