    PH> No. The CRASH flag won't in itself be enough for Mystic to do what you   
    PH> hope it will do. Also note that just because you may have run the   
    PH> MergeNodelists function in MUTIL this will only scan the nodelists you   
    PH> point to and build a text file in the data directory of Mystic. This is   
    PH> in turn used by the nodelist browser feature, but that feature is like   
    PH> looking up a phone book for a number, nothing more.   
      
       Yeah, that was what I was suspecting. I even tried to do a mis poll towards   
   Bjorn's system, but it did not deliver the netmail since it was routed towards   
   4:80/1 by default.   
      
    PH> Mystic has it's own logic as to how it will route netmail. Refer to   
    PH> whatsnew.txt to see what this is. g00r00 has documented it there. Look   
    PH> for 'netmail routing' in that document and read this to understand the   
    PH> steps Mystic takes.   
      
       Yeah, I did go through the docs and the process is pretty smart actually.   
      
       However there is no provision for the crash logic.   
      
    PH> If you are unhappy with the way Mystic acts, then it's best to post some   
    PH> feedback to this echo and suggest what you think it could do   
    PH> differently/better etc. and why... and then you will need to wait for   
    PH> the software author to reply.   
      
       Thanks! Will do that.
