SCFG "Kill NetMail After Sent" = "No" still kills netmail after sending.

I've tried the SBBS internal editor, FSEditor and Slyedit all with the same result:

```
2026-01-20 22:21:18 Created NetMail (2.msg) from Keyop Troy (2:250/3) to fred blogs (2:250/3), attr: 0181 (PRIVATE, KILLSENT, LOCAL), subject: test
2026-01-20 22:24:16 Created NetMail (3.msg) from Keyop Troy (2:250/3) to fred blogs (2:250/3), attr: 0181 (PRIVATE, KILLSENT, LOCAL), subject: test 2
```

KILLSENT should not be set/used.

The SCFG setting controls the "KILLSENT" attribute for the netmail message(s) created in the Synchronet mail base (data/mail) and works as intended. If this setting is set to "No", then the netmail message remain in the Synchronet mail base even after it's been exported for network-sending (e.g. by SBBSecho). You can look at your sent mail (in the Synchronet mail base) and confirm this.

The log snippet you included is from SBBSecho and it exporting Fido netmail from the Synchronet mail base to FidoNet "stored message" format (*.msg). SBBSecho *always* sets the "KILLSENT" attribute in .msg files it exports. If you want to see the netmail you sent (that wasn't "killed"), look at the Synchronet mail base (e.g. 'K' from the e-mail menu). I'm not clear why a sysop would want to keep both the sent netmail in the mail base *and* in .msg format.

If I go to [E] Read/Send - E-mail, then [K] read/kill mail you have sent, I can't see the netmails I sent earlier.

I'm assuming (maybe incorrectly) that killsent was refering to keeping netmails in the msg base so that I could see them.

the SCFG setting controls whether the mail in mailbase (msg base) gets the KILLSENT attribute or not. That's correct. You pasted a snippet of the sbbsecho.log file with this issue however. SCFG doesn't control (much) of what SBBSecho does or does not do.

It sounds like the echocfg->NetMail->Delete Netmail option is what were looking for (set it to "No").

Ah yes netmails are now kept in the message base - thanks!
