METAR e-mail Bug

The frequency of e-mail METAR send cannot be set to anything other than 5 minutes. If I select say 30 minutes from teh drop down, it still reverts to 5 minutes when I try to save.

Also, is it possible to drop the word "METAR" in teh content of the e-mail as the software I'm sending to fails as a result of having the word METAR in the body of the email. Mike

The send frequency is impacted by a bug. Will be solved with next backup.

To my knowledge METAR sendings need to have the MATAR tag in it. This is also in line with formal METAR specification from NOAA.
