Thanks for using D'Bridge - When using BBS software, it should specifically
support the *.MSG format or you must use a tosser that extrapolates the 
messages from the BBS into *.MSG format.

You can easily test this by taking your BBS out of the picture 
temporarily and using the D'Bridge internal editor to write some messages.  
You will see that D'Bridge scans and packs them out, so it sounds like the
issue may have more to do with your setup.

You can use a batch file or specify the commands in Config-Advanced-BBS.

Its up to you... its very flexible.
