   Hi Sean,   
      
   On 2025-11-20 14:58:40, you wrote to All:   
      
    SR> I have, besides Fidonet, Micronet and a few others. I am finding that   
    SR> the echos are being added to the Fidonet group and not their own   
      
   You mean when using the 'addnew' function of ftools?   
      
   That's a documented feature ;-) :   
      
   """   
   6.11      Addnew   
      
   Automatically add new areas detected during FMail Toss to the   
   FMAIL.AR. FMail will use the default settings defined in the    <---   
   AreaMgr defaults section of FConfig. A name for JAM areas is   
   generated automatically.   
      
   ˙         FTools Addnew [-A]   
      
             [-A]  AutoExport external config files   
                   See paragraph 3.5.2 for which files this relates to,   
                   and how to configure them.   
   """   
      
   And you have to realize a Group is not the same as a network. Groups are used   
   for giving users access to a number of areas that are part of a group.   
   I have multiple groups for Fidonet areas. Local, Regional, European, and   
   Worldwide areas are in different groups.   
      
   And FMail has no knowledge which group is used for which network.   
      
   Personally I don't use the automatic Addnew function of ftools. There are   
   hardly ever any new areas in the networks I'm connected to, and when they   
   arrive I want to handle them manually.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
