Heh, after Mark Lewis's explaination, I think I finally got it all. I do like
to use the master directory as it'll keep things tidy, and I can use a simple
dummy messages directory that'll be wiped out every run, because I'll use
binkd's fileboxes instead of netmail, much more clean. Unfortunately makenl
itself goes ape when you don't give it a messages area.. Perhaps I can bug the
developers to fix that for BSO handling. :)
