Hi Paul,

On 2018-11-29 22:36:16, you wrote to me:

 PH> What is the latest version and where can it be obtained?

 PH> I looked at SF but am not sure that is the most recent one?

That's currently the latest release. Sometimes there are newer development
versions, but they aren't published.

 PH> Do you know if tools that look at JAM bases created by Fastecho would
 PH> also work on JAM bases created by Fmail?

JAM is a standardized public format. There are no opperational issues between
golded and fmail on jam messagebases afaik, for instance.

There once was a report of someone that went from fastecho to fmail and back
to fastecho, where there was an issue with jam on the second step. But I don't
remember the details, and if it was investigated and or resolved or not...

 PH> Can I just import/migrate current JAM bases used in Fastecho across to
 PH> Fmail?

You should. But it doesn't hurt to have backups. ;)

 PH> Is there zone stripping of seen-bys?

No.

(However you can configure "Tiny Seenbys" for each area and/or each node, if
you choose so. Should be off by default.)

 PH> Can netmail please be handled by Fmail using a JAM base, please :)

Not yet. ;)


Bye, Wilfred.
