    Hey Mike,

    You might have seen my mailer respond to "test" messages in other networks - and was wondering if you want it turned on here.

    Sometimes when sending out a "test", its nice to get a response back promptly while testing and that's why I created it - saving waiting for a human to respond (although they can do so as well :)

    Let me know if you want it turned on...

    Thomas Kloos wrote one for me. but it only works sporadically. It would be great if you
    could do that for me. Thanks.

    I've turned it on.

    For those wanting to test connectivity, you can:

    * Echomail, post a message in this echo to "All" (case doesnt matter), subject "test" (case doesnt matter here either), the body of the message can be anything, and the bot will reply back to you with the body of the message and the FTN control lines.

    * Netmail, sending a netmail to ping@954:700/1, subject and body doesnt matter, and you should get a netmail back with the body of your message and the FTN control lines.

    Let me know if something doesnt work right...
