Hi Johan,

 >PK: I don't have any orphaned files at the moment so I can't be sure,
 >PK: however from memory, the orphaned files ALWAYS show up at the top of
 >PK: the list, BEFORE any .FLO files. Normally SOB lists files in this
 >PK: order -

 JZ> No, orphaned mail archives are shown below the ?LO file 
 JZ> they belong to. 

Not here they don't, all files that are NOT listed in a .FLO file show at the 
top, before any .FLO file entries. EG If there were TWO files to send to a node 
SOB would show 5 lines for that node -
  The .FLO file name against the node address,
  The entry in the .FLO file pointing at the first file to be moved,
  The Arcmail entry for the first file,
  The entry in the .FLO file pointing at the second file to be moved,
  The Arcmail entry for the second file.

Either there is another setting that controls this or we are talking about 
different things. I am using SOB v1.10, however I also have v1.00 around here. 
I don't suppose you have a mix of v1.00 .DLL and 1.10 .EXE or something like 
that?

Pretty much the same here, except I am using binkd/2 0.9.5. All my background 
mail processing is handled by one task that serialises access to the outbound 
areas by the mail handling tasks (Squish, NEF, etc), and forces the programs to 
run individually in sequence, so processing clashes cannot ocurr. Are you able 
to do something like this?

Cheers....................pk.
