I think you have run into the same trap that I did. When you finish
writing a messqage you have to click on "Send", not "Store." Store is
the equivalent of YAM's "Hold." To send those spooled messages you
have to edit them and then "Send" from he editor window. If no TCP/IP
stack is running the "Send" button is supposed to change to "Queue"
but it won't if it has alreay seen a TCP/IP stack. In that case you
still click the "Send" button, and put up with MD2 trying to find the
stack and then protesting and queuing the message.
I don't know of any simple way to change a message status from Hold to
queue. MD2 will be an OK program if it ever gets finished.
