Re: *.MSG usage...

Hiya DM...
A few days ago you spoke of removing ARCMail from sbbsecho. Will this removal affect the conversion of *.MSG/Attach at all?
I was not proposing the removal of FTS-1 "stored message" (so-called
.msg file) support.
I, along with a few
others use MakeNL and it creates *.MSG when sending updated segments up the ladder. Also, there is Frontdoor's FM editor I use when creating netmail and sending files as well. It's a little easier than looging into the bbs. sbbsecho converts them quite easily for BSO transmission.
If that works today, it would continue to work. It's just the "BSO
mode" would not longer be an option, it would be the *only* mode of operation supported. If you're already using BSO/FLO mode, and it
sounds like you are, then there would be no change for you.

in BSO mode, where is the MSG directory that one can specify in FA
mode? folks using tools that generate MSG files need to have a
directory to place them into for sbbsecho to process them and their attachments...
