Hello All,

Just have a couple questions regarding some configuration options in
fidoconfig:

1) When using "hpt pack" sometimes it seems to mark recently written echomail
messages with the "Snt" flag, whether or not "PackNetmailOnScan" is set
anywhere (even though that would be reverse from what seems to be happening
here, so shouldn't matter anyways).

2) ProcessPkt - Can (or should) this be used for processing Filefix requests?
As of right now, I have a script executed from binkd called poll.sh that runs:

/usr/local/bin/hpt toss link
/usr/local/bin/hpt ffix!
/usr/local/bin/hpt pack

Which seems to work fine, but if ProcessPkt can be used to run
"/usr/local/bin/hpt ffix!" I may not need it in my polling script, and could
just run "hpt toss link" directly.

Also, feature request: When "hpt ffix[!]" actually does process a filefix
request, can we have an option to automatically pack the netmail replies? This
would save time and resources on running "hpt pack" every time when it is not
needed most of the time. This would or could somewhat mimic the "Areafix
requests on the fly" method. htick.texi seems to say "Filefix requests on the
fly" but the same options areafix has are not available for filefix (ie:
AreafixFromPkt is available, while FilefixFromPkt is not an option).

With the feature request, then the need/want for ProcessPkt wouldn't be
necessary.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Nick
