No. REP packet can contain email too, so it's not an all-or-nothing. And I 
don't store uploaded REP packets or else sysop's hard disks could fill up with

I don't think James is even on DOVE-Net, is he? <shrug>

I assume these Mystic boards are running some untested alpha or beta code and 
they should be able to generate a REP packet and send it to the author of that
