For reasons unknown to us mark lewis said thus to Gaylen Hintz:   
      
    ml> what message base format are you using?? do the directories   
      
    I'm using JAM message base format, works well with EleBBS and Proboard. :)   
      
    ml> and/or files for those areas actually exist? i get the same   
    ml> thing on my system when new areas are set up... i use JAM   
    ml> bases for all my areas... i just let it go until some mail   
    ml> actually arrives to be placed in the areas... i could,   
      
    Ummm, yes... the directories do exist and initially I would add the areas and   
   they would immediately show up.  Hmmm, well if that's the way it works I'm   
   sure it will be fine then. :)   
      
    ml> however, create the areas via one of my editors, though...   
    ml> when FE tosses mail to those areas, they will be fully created   
    ml> at that time... currently, though, the data files are not   
    ml> there and it rightfully lets you know... no problems   
      
    OK, cool.. thanks for the helpful advice.
