I'd love to - if only I could get the format.  Specifically: where
does outgoing mail go? In what format? How is the nnnnnnnn generated?
Are there any indexes floating around that need to be updated?

I asked about this in the Pmail conference on Cix and was told to sod
off and buy the manuals.  Which doesn't encourage me in this
endeavour...

All the Best,

Tim
