   "Crash" is a stored message attribute (defined in FTS-1). The meaning of   
   "crash" is not really defined in FTS-1, but in other docs, it's clarified as   
   meaning to send direct (not routed) and immediately. There's no "immediate"   
   message or packet attribute.   
      
   "Immediate" is a flow file flavor (defined in FTS-5003):   
    "If a flow file with such a flavour exists the   
     mailer must try to poll a remote system without taking in   
     consideration any external and internal restrictions."   
      
   FTS-5003 also defines the "Continuous" flow file flavor:   
    "If a flow file with such flavour exists the   
     mailer must try to poll a remote system taking in consideration   
     internal restrictions but not external ones (assuming that the   
     remote system carries a CM flag)."   
      
   BinkIT (Synchronet's FTN/BinkP mailer) treats .d (Direct), .i, and .c flow   
   files all the same, FWIW.
