I've sent you some micronet netmail and a fidonet zone 1 netmail. Did
you see any of those? I know my micronet and fidonet netmail is
working, though rick's routing may not work for net 618...

I've not received any netmail from you at all. Both networks are
working here for netmail. You might want to ask Rick to make sure his netmail routing works but the way the network is set up, there
shouldn't be a problem.
Also, instead of routing me netmail, you can crash me directly at
either
618:618/1 and 1:80/200 via BinkP. That's actually the preferred way
to sen netmail as routed netmail is a kludge.

Routed netmail was originally intended to save sysops money back when
most mail was transmitted via modem over phone lines. These days,
most systems are available over the internet 24 hours a day, so
crashing netmail makes much
more sense. If you send directly to the destination, you don't need
to worry about your message ending up in a black hole somewhere, due
to someone's misconfigured mail processor.

useless fact but my experience with routed (fidonet) netmail is pretty good. and it makes the nostalgia factor ++++ :)
