A nice Christmas present from Maiko.  A few questions.

Wow.  I didn't know this either.  Good to know.
 

>   *10

Also interesting.  You're using "*10" but the manual says "* NN".  So, I guess the space doesn't matter?

I don't understand.  Can you explain what the extra "." does?


Regarding "//WL2K" in the subject:  FYI:  It's my understand that a Winlink user can create a whitelist of senders and, if they do, then messages from those senders will be delivered even if the subject line doesn't start with "//WL2K".
