The probable reason why it never left the queue is that it may have  
been marked "Crash". Notice I'm being a bit vague with this(see  
below).

OK but I need to have a good look at Fido file attaches because it's  
not a feature I use these days and I don't think any work has been  
done on the feature since binkP was implemented.

 AA> Just curious, are file attaches popular in the othernets with OpenXP?

If you mean OpenXP's email client then yes, and this was the major bug  
in 5.0.37

However, if you mean FTN "othernets" then I haven't a clue as I'm not  
on any "othernets"
