I noticed in my data folder that I have 5 files named VERT.qwk.nnnnnnnn.bad. They look like regular QWK packets when I open them in 7-zip, but I can't open them with a QWK reader.

Is there any way to re-toss those messages to my BBS and see what comes of it?

....Am I any closer to finding what I'm looking for?

Yeah, just rename to *.qwk and the BBS will attempt to re-import.
