Can no longer respond to email after latest update

Run

;exec msglist mail

As sysop from the BBS menu

Go to an incoming email:

│ Subj: Second Test │ Attr: KillSent │ To : sysop@endofthelinebbs.com #1 (closed) │ From: nigel@sysadmininc.com (nigel@sysadmininc.com) │ Date: Wed Sep 21 2022 03:03:16 UTC-5:00 (1 minutes ago)

R to reply. I'm asked to answer Network email address (Example: user@domain) which is already filled in. nigel@sysadmininc.com

I hit enter and get the message

No NetMail allowed. Failed to send

Same if I use the M option.

I'm sending from the sysop account which has no restrictions.

Now, after checking all that, I checked scfg and it seems that the "Allow Sending of E-mail" magically turned itself to "No". Along with Allow file attachments, and inbound/outbound semaphores are blank.

Seems your conversion from cnf to ini broke the internet email settings.
