- Journal and Experts log files should be flushed on each new message (so as they can be viewed in real-time with a tail program). - In the ToolBox, in Trade tab -> adding an optional column for magic number. Also adding ability to change column

I have been doing some experimentation to see how this function works. I have noticed that SendFTP() halts code until sending is finished and true/false is returned (please correct me if this is not so), hence it's not very good for large files and

I am using SendMail () normally and get this error. I have verified by printing the strings I have passed to the the function that they are initialized properly. Funny thing is the mail is sent just fine (including the subject and the text), but when
