Hi Brian,

If you are only interested in echomail links, you could use messages in pkt 
files that have an AREA: line?

Or just use the mailers log file. I think that could work for binkd, I don't 
know about other mailers.

You could easily deduce that information by looking at your outbound directory. 
;)


Bye, Wilfred.
