Can't seem to get echomail outbound, but noticed in from a usenet message
that I might have been missing having zip installed. Crossing my fingers on this test message.

Echomail is showing progress. Not quite working without manual intervention, but I'll take that business over to the Mystic area.

Excited to see messages coming in though.

Welcome to having working echomail outbound! I went through that same issue, and struggled to figure it out for _way_ too long. I do hope that at some
point the issue is something that makes it into a log, as that would've sped
me along _way_ sooner.

I've been keeping a log for the less obvious things that didn't make it into the videos, or at least not in the videos where I expected them to be.

- Making sure ZIP and UNZIP are working
- Getting a weekly maintenance going, especially for:
- Nodelists

I also have best intentions for writing a little better documentation for the wiki around the message flow for echomail and netmail, and how fidopoll and mutil work together.

But for now, I just need to figure out why I have to manually run mutil for import, since it doesn't seem to actually work as part of a polling event
after fidopoll dumps its messages in the /in folder.

Excellent. I've just taken a flying leap into 1992.

And here my wife can't understand why I've gotten into ham radio versus the world of internet and cellphones... Wait until she sees the BBS.

If it was like when I had a wife. It was "What's a BBS? Why can't I use my mouse?" @-(

You got rid of her because she wouldn't learn key commands? I can respect
that.
