There is a file called 'Inbox' in ~/.pskmail

Your client is in PSK250R mode and the frame is in PSK250.

The Intermar servers on 10148.0 and on other bands are using PSK250 as default
mode.
The servers on 10147.0 use default PSK500R. We prefer using the robust modes as
they are much better than the raw modes.
The next release of server and client will set the mode automatically depending
on channel conditions, i.e. on an ideal channel they will automatically use
PSK500 on ARQ, and degrade down the mode table to THOR8 for really bad channels
(unless you are in the US, there the max. speed is PSK250 because of
restrictions). In EU PSK500R will be used as default mode for beacons and
APRS. This is not true for the servers on 10148.0
Which version of fldigi do you use? You need the RSID capability, which is used
to change modes...

This is not normal. Again, which wersion of fldigi and client?

PSKmail tweets to the pskmail channel automatically, without using a password
over the air. Just write your tweet andhit the 'send tweet' menu entry.
For other twitter accounts you can use an APRS email service, there are several
(e.g. messagedance.com), there you need an account.

Ask Per, SM0RWO for a password if you want tocontribute. Download is always
possible (http://www.crusefalk.se/websvn/).

You must first start fldigi and then pskmail. Set 10 Hz limits in the PSK/Mail
tab...
