I am pretty sure Synch uses a propriatary message base so I'm not sure HPT can handle the tossing/packing part. I don't run a FLO mailer here so which directory the netmail goes I'm unsure of. If you're using GoldEd to create a netmail then I can't see why Ssbbsecho even has to touch it. If I am in a hurry I use FD's editor to create netmail. Being I'm using *.MSG it gets saved directly to my netmail folder where a SEM is created to tell my mailer and off it goes.

Within Synch's editor or any 3rd party editor while logged in, on the To: line, address it as such: areafix@1:nnn/nnnn
