Subj : Executing mail upon arrival To : Allen Prunty From : Mike Miller Date : Tue Nov 01 2016 08:22 am Hello Allen! 31 Oct 16 21:34, you wrote to all: AP> Hello everybody!

Also, I don't think you need "!@" From the manual: ***** Exec Purpose: run an external program when a file satisfying the wildcards is received. The "*S" macro in commandline is substituted with Standard Request Information File, see !srif.txt for more details. This allows you to run an external file request processor (besides zillions of other possibilities). Syntax: exec Examples: exec "my-freq-processor.exe /options *S" *.req exec "my-pkt-unpacker.exe /options *S" *.pkt ***** So, it looks like you could re-write what you have to: exec "c:\\binkd\\toss.bat" *.su? *.mo? *.tu? *.we? *.th? *.fr? *.sa? *.pkt Mike .... Of course I have backup tapes! Do you want last years? --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20160322 * Origin: War Ensemble - warensemble.com - Appleton, WI (1:154/30) .
