 RS> Crash means direct (not routed) *and* immediate.

I really should know this by now also.

In my head I always thought it was immediate but did not put together the
direct/non routed bit.

Just found some old FastEcho tosser docs and at the back of them was this
table of info which may be helpful for others following along.


 Appendix (C) - Message Attributes
                ==================

    The message attributes specify, mostly, the messages aim and/or the
message status, furthermore, them determines how the mailer must  treat
the outgoing NetMail messages and how your editor must handle the inco-
ming NetMail messages.. There are a lot of message attributes, standard
or not. In the table below the most common of them will be summarized.

 ???????????????????????????????????
 ?              M E S S A G E    A T T R I B U T E S                 ?
 ???????????????????????????????????
 ?ATTRIBUTE ?           D  E  S  C  R  I  P  T  I  O  N             ?
 ???????????????????????????????????
 ?   ATT    ?Means that the present  NetMail message has a file at- ?
 ?          ?tached to it. The  path and  file specification of the ?
 ?          ?file to be sent must always be specified in the messa- ?
 ?          ?ge subject. The message text may contain  other infor- ?
 ?          ?mations too.                                           ?
 ???????????????????????????????????
 ?   CRA    ?Crash or High-Priority  mail. The messages having this ?
 ?          ?attribute  set, bypass any routing statement  and are, ?
 ?          ?usually, sent directly to the addressee system.        ?
 ???????????????????????????????????
 ?   DIR    ?This means "Direct". the presence of this attribute in ?
 ?   (*)    ?te in a NetMail message  implies that it  can  be sent ?
 ?          ?to  this system directly (avoiding  to go  through  in-?
 ?          ?termediary systems). If, for  example, a NetMail messa-?
 ?          ?ge has the DIR and the HOLD attribute  together, it re-?
 ?          ?quires that only the destination system  (points inclu-?
 ?          ?ded) calls your system to be able to pickup their mail.?
 ???????????????????????????????????
 ?   FRQ    ?File/Request. When a NetMail message having this attri-?
 ?          ?bute is sent, then the addressee system  will consider ?
 ?          ?it as a request to send one or more files to the reque-?
 ?          ?sting system. The files requested must be indicated in ?
 ?          ?the message subject. A NetMail message having this at- ?
 ?          ?tribute  set, must  always  be sent directly and never ?
 ?          ?routed.                                                ?
 ???????????????????????????????????
 ?   HLD    ?This means "Hold". If a NetMail message has this attri-?
 ?          ?bute set, then the mailer  doesn't route or send it un-?
 ?          ?less the addressee  system calls yours. In case of net-?
 ?          ?mail message  addressed to a  point system, it will be ?
 ?          ?delivered through  its boss but only if the boss calls ?
 ?          ?your system (this  doesn't  apply if the  message also ?
 ?          ?has the DIR status (seen before).                      ?
 ???????????????????????????????????
 ?   IMM    ?When a NetMail message has the "IMM" (Immediate) attri-?
 ?   (*)    ?bute set, then it  will be  sent immediately, ignoring ?
 ?          ?any mailer  restriction   and/or  qualification. So it ?
 ?          ?will force the  mailer to call  the destination system ?
 ?          ?to give it your mail.                                  ?
