    ml> i haven't found it so i'm asking... is there any way to have fmail    
    ml> 1.48 automatically add areas being fed from an uplink instead of    
    ml> them going into badmail and then having to manually run setup to    
    ml> manualy configure the areas with a final run to retoss the posts    
    ml> from the badmail area into the proper area??   
      
    ml> it would be so much easier if i could just flip a switch on the    
    ml> feed's record to automaticall add the areas with defaults and    
    ml> boogie on...   
      
    WvV> You will have to upgrade to atleast the 1.60 version:   
      
   hummm...   
      
    WvV> NEW FEATURES IN 1.60   
    WvV> ====================   
    WvV> ...   
    WvV> - FTOOLS ADDNEW function has been added. If you run this command   
    WvV> after new   areas have been received (FMail Toss), these areas   
    WvV> will be added to   FMAIL.AR (using the defaults you set on the   
    WvV> AreaMgr defaults page in   FSetup). After that, you can run FMAIL   
    WvV> TOSS /B to retoss the bad messages.   You can detect the arrival   
    WvV> of new areas by testing from your batch file   whether or not   
    WvV> FMAIL.BDE exists in the FMail directory.   
      
   i already do this detection and then fire up the setup program to manually add   
   the areas...   
      
    WvV>   If you add the switch /A, the files that are normally updated by   
    WvV> FSetup's   AutoUpdate feature, will also be updated by FTools   
    WvV> AddNew. ...   
      
   thank you for the information... i will consider if i really want to upgrade   
   to 1.60...
