    Hope this helps.
    I hope I'm not nit picking the CCO BBS but when I have to use SLMR to
    Read a message in a packet that MultiMail couldn't see I 'think' I'm
    helping.

    Ed,
    Sometimes I have trouble with multimail doing odd things. Other times, it is SLMR. For example, I cannot get SLMR to work on packets that come from the web/ftp board, but it works fine on ones from the GT side. I can never find any rhyme or reason in it.

    As for the origin line, that is because one message area is networked via QWK networking (and gets a bgnet origin line), and the other is fido-tech
    networked and gets the "gtnet" origin line. Neither are actually a proper GT Power orgin line; both are third-party mail tossers for different technology.

    BTW, Daryl and I got our issues figured out. His GT echos should have some traffic in them now.

    Mike

    Usually Multimail works except lately messages Orginating from CCO echos
    won't show in MM Personal messages area, and the echos the messages are
    written in don't appear in the echo list even when I press the L Key to
    show ALL Echos.

    I just figured it out.

    It happened to You because I joined Your Capital City Online BBS.

    O.K., Thanks for enlightening Me.

    I saw some echos from Daryl today, I'm glad, and You and Daryl are glad
    too.

    Two thoughts:

    Here on Earth Computers alway win because they have inside information.

    There is always Something or Someone that keep Me humble.

    After writing the last message I thought to try seeing if Multimail
    WIN50 would do any better.

    Nope.

    The PERS echo area had 0 ERROR MESSAGES.DAT .... in it too as in the
    DOS version of MM.

    I was thinking maybe it was a Windows NT vs. DOS Program thing, but not
    so.

    I tried.
