Q: I want to catch letters containing UUE, how can I do it?
A: You can use this mask and it's modifications:
   BodyMask: "*%0d%begin ### *.*%0d%m*%0d%m*%0d%`%0d%end*" * *

   This mask will catch files containing the following lines:
   --------------------
   begin 666 myfile.txt
   M....
   M....
   some-some-some
   `
   end
   --------------------

   This mask is the most precise, but it won't catch splitted messages.
   In fact you can use the fact lines in a usual UUE-file start with
   letter 'M'.
   BodyMask: "*%0d%M$$$$$$$$*%0d%M$$$$$$$$*%0d%M$$$$$$$$*%0d%m*%0d%M$$$$$$$$*" * *
   This mask will catch all letters contatining five lines starting with
   symbol 'M' and _not_ having a space within 8 symbols following this 'M'
   (ATTENTION! It's not necessary that these lines must be in order;
   they should simply exist)
   ------------------
   If you have any other checked mask please send it to me and the mask
   will be added to this FAQ.

A: (Roman Rakitin, 2:5025/51.25)

   I noticed that no one mask that catches UUE doesn't catch them properly 
   if files were uuencoded by UUEPro. I solved the problem the following way
   and tested it on all available coders:

   ===[The beginning of WindowsClipboard]===
   *begin ### .*M$$$$$$%0d%M$$$$$$%0d%M$$$$$$%0d%M$$$$$$%0d%*\
   section*of file.M$$$$$$%0d%M$$$$$$%0d%M$$$$$$%0d%M$$$$$$%0d%*\
   sum -r/size*
   (This is one line. I simply splitted it into several parts for conveniency)
   ===[The end of WindowsClipboard]===


Q: I want to move letters from netmail to echomail. How can I do it?
A: The most correct way is to create a template containing the following:
   ------------
   @MsgBody
   @MsgNTearline
   @MsgNOrigin
   ------------
   All these words should start from the beginning of line and, using
   Action: NewMsg command they should put new letters to chosen echoarea.
   Why to do only thus way? Because in echomail TearLine and Origin _must_
   be present. But they're not obligatory necessary in netmail. Using this
   template we create a letter where TearLine and Origin always present.
   Also we delete all technical information that concerns only netmail and
   that is not used in echomail.

Q: I want to move messages from echomail to netmail. How can I do it?
A: In general this operation doesn't differ from moving messages from
   netmail to echomail, with the exception of only one small but important
   moment- there is not recepient's address in echomail. His name exists, but
   his address- not. That's why in 99% of cases you address will be placed
   as recepient's address, and in 1%, that is left, there could be anything.
   That's why when we move messages from echomail to netmail we should
   clearly show to Ftrack the address of the recepient. For example:
   Action: NewMsg "e_to_n.tpl" "o:\netmail\fromecho" * * * 2:5020/79.0 * *
