    OK, I'll bite, why do you want to know?

    PS I can probably find out if someone from FRO or Norway doesn't post
    an answer here.

           -< "Nicht Eilig" LTS "Normal" , but "SECOND" GTS "FIRST" >-
                                                      
    Because...                                        
      (Kids you should try this at home!)             
                                                      
      I have a suspicion that in non-English languages, messages get sent
    at the wrong precedent... In German I think the Deutschlanders will
    find that Nicht_Eilig messages go to Message Router in Eilig mode...
                                                                       
    In Norvege, I KNOW oa$translate(EXPRESS) messages go on to mail queue
    ie oA$translate(SECOND_CLASS).                                       
                                                                       
    (For the technically minded, this is due to the fact that the inventors
    of languages other than English had the temerity to organise the
    translations of EXPRESS,FIRST CLASS and SECOND CLASS in a different
    alphabetic ordering ! :-))                            
                                                          
     Winton                                               
    
    p.s. Don't bother with a QAR, I already have one - and the fix for a
    PFR or even a PFP.
