"Crash" is a stored message attribute (defined in FTS-1). The meaning of
"crash" is not really defined in FTS-1, but in other docs, it's clarified as
meaning to send direct (not routed) and immediately. There's no "immediate"
message or packet attribute.

"Immediate" is a flow file flavor (defined in FTS-5003):
"If a flow file with such a flavour exists the
mailer must try to poll a remote system without taking in
consideration any external and internal restrictions."

FTS-5003 also defines the "Continuous" flow file flavor:
"If a flow file with such flavour exists the
mailer must try to poll a remote system taking in consideration
internal restrictions but not external ones (assuming that the
remote system carries a CM flag)."

BinkIT (Synchronet's FTN/BinkP mailer) treats .d (Direct), .i, and .c flow
files all the same, FWIW.
