Hi All,

Does anyone know which compression formats Mystic supports when importing compressed echomail bundles?  It seems to work if they're compressed with .zip or .rar, but others I've tried (.arc & .7z) will just get skipped, even if I have the archiver installed & enabled:

-----------------  MUTIL v1.12 A48 2023/01/15 Sun, Feb 25 2024 (loglevel 3)
+ Feb 25 15:10:04  Startup using mutil.ini
- Feb 25 15:10:04  EXEC ImportEchoMail
- Feb 25 15:10:04  EXEC LinkMessages
+ Feb 25 15:10:04  Process: Importing EchoMail
+ Feb 25 15:10:04    Waiting for BUSY nodes
! Feb 25 15:10:04    Import from c:\mystic\echomail\in\
! Feb 25 15:10:04    Cannot find arctype for bf7a6bd9.su0; skipping


Mystic will create the outbound archive (in .7z or .arc) and export it where it'll process it on the other side, but any received packets in these formats are skipped.

I mostly stick to uncompressed .pkt files or .zip compression (usually only used when %RESCAN'ing), but was just curious what other methods Mystic supports for inbound.  I didn't see anything in mystic.txt or whatsnew.txt, unless I missed it.
