Greetings All!

I've finally figured out what was causing the "missing" first line of every
message and the garbage under the origin line issues. It would appear that
SemPoint expects 8.3 messagebase filenames and more importantly, the "8" part
of the filename MUST be in UPPERCASE, although it doesn't seem to matter what
case the file extension is.

I've tried this with CrashMail and the line in the config file that makes all
the difference is this one:

---------- 8< ----------
AREA "DEFAULT_F" 2:310/31.3 JAM "c:\\users\\martin\\mailer\\msgbase\\%a"
---------- 8< ----------
The "%a" at the end of the line tells CrashMail to create new areas in
UPPERCASE, which results in this new area:

---------- 8< ----------
AREA "POINTS" 2:310/31.3 JAM "c:\\users\\martin\\mailer\\msgbase\\POINTS"
---------- 8< ---------

Here's a directory listing of my new JAM messagebase:

---------- 8< ----------
 Directory of c:\Users\martin\mailer\msgbase

04/06/2019  12:57    <DIR>          .
04/06/2019  12:57    <DIR>          ..
04/06/2019  12:57           681,746 POINTS.jdt
04/06/2019  12:57             5,984 POINTS.jdx
04/06/2019  13:04           361,612 POINTS.jhr
04/06/2019  13:26                16 POINTS.jlr
---------- 8< ----------

Note the file extensions are in lowercase but hey, who cares! -<img src=)"/>

Regards,
Martin
