    Looks like the echo name isn't being attached to the announcement
    template. The rest looks great.

    Yes there is another example of this but I cannot find the problem area of code.

    It is based on one of two variables that are used along with another one (for the tagname) into another variable that is used to send out as a report / netmail /echo msg etc.

    It is doing a good hiding job :(

    Problem is where the msg line is issued it is also used for valid text lines and I am a bit scared of making a change there in case it screws up other messages that are valid.

    I will, however carry on looking ...

    Thanks for pointing the problem out - I had not spotted it although it is a cosmetic.

    May have fixed it {v5.4.29] - out of date text in a temp. var that stayed when exiting a error routine.

    There again ....

    I recently was having an issue with a little utility I wrote crashing on
    me. Turns out that I needed to put a line in clearing a variable before
    a do/while loop. A lot of frustration from an overlooked issue.

    There again ....

    Shh, it'll hear you!

    Must have done the light weight fix did not work.

    Have to take another look over the next few days.
