FE does BSO stuff without problems... to use fileboxes, which were introduced 
after the current public release, requires the use of additional software and 
configuration...

if the system is using FileAttach (like frontdoor) then there are a few 
programs that can be used to "convert" that to fileboxes for those systems that 
need that capability... i use this format here with about 10 or so systems as 
the method of integrating FD and BINKD together...

if the system uses BSO, then there should not have to be any conversion because 
all the new mailers operate in BSO fashion...
