    That's not super difficult, but not as easy as "FR:filename" in the subject line of a netmail, IMHO.

    Hi.

    In the subject line, the filename is a DOS file type, but when it's sent, in my case, it removes the extension and I never receive anything, apart from an error message from the destination BBS.

    I send a netmail with FR:AP251227.ZIP, but when I check the log, it appears without the extension and I receive an error message.

    Here's the log:

    This is more a Digital Man issue, but I do note that the prefix ("FR:") is the same length as the part truncated from the end ("ZIP").

    Not sure if that's related or not.

    Yes, it seems so. With the latest patch you released, it no longer sends duplicates.

    Hello. I've also provided little to no information. I'm currently using what I believe is one of the latest versions of dailybuild_linux_x64, but with FreeBSD 15. I don't know if the master branch would change anything regarding that minor bug.
    Currently, I can't switch the server to another Linux system. It's something beyond my control.

    What I've done is create a script, and it seems to avoid that bug. Does anyone know where the bug is? I'll have to compile the master branch to see if it disappears and saves me all this trouble.

    Sorry for filling up the message with all of the following.

    The "FR:" isn't supposed to actually be part of the subject stored in the message header. If you include the "FR:" prefix in a netmail subject that you enter from within Synchronet (the terminal server), it'll strip the "FR:" prefix and add the FREQ attribute. This message you're showing has both the FREQ attribute *and* the "FR:" prefix in the subject. That's not correct.

    Hi. The version I had was compiled from the dailybuild_linux-x64 branch. I switched to the master branch, but the error persisted. I was finally able to fix it with the JavaScript script.
