Subject: omnigate ftpmail

I posted a note a couple of weeks ago asking for help in getting omnigate
to ftp-by-mail.  I had asked what I could possibly be doing wrong, since
the directions I had about getting it to send me a help message seemed so
foolproof ("Nothing is foolproof; fools are so ingenious").

The only response I got was from somebody saying "me too"-- another fellow
who couldn't get omnigate ftpmail to perform as advertised.  I wonder if
maybe omnigate ftpmail really isn't working after all, only a few
primitive technology stuckees such as myself have no direct ftp access,
and noone who can do anything about it is aware that there is a problem.

So here's a slightly different request: could somebody who knows how to do
it kindly send the omnigate server a help message and see if you get any
response back at all?  If you don't please post a "me too" to whoever you
think can fix it.  Otherwise, please send me a keystroke-by-keystroke
replay of everything you did that got you a response.

Thanksabunch,
