You're lucky!  You probably don't send to the same dodgy sites I do (CIX
used to be prime at losing incoming mail, and CompuServe wasn't much
better - both have improved recently, though), and anything going
through gateways has a tendency to bounce depending on the weather (or
something random like that).

Searching zip files means implementing the unzip algorithm; not
impossible, just something I'd rather not do.  Or running PKUNZIP -v to
a file then editing that.  That's what I'd do with a 4DOS batch file and
a few AWK scripts, followed by the basic program...

Just a SMOP :-)
