   Hi Richard,   
      
   On 2016-11-22 10:34:36, you wrote to me:   
      
    RM>>> If there is a Linux version with JAM Netmail support I will take   
    RM>>> a look at it, too ;)   
      
    WV>> Why do you need/want that anyway? You're using GoldED!   
      
    RM> Golded or Husky HPT?   
      
   I mean JAM Netmail support.   
      
    RM>>> Especially if there is a text config   
    WV>> There won't be at first...   
      
    RM> Then it will be later, or maybe never ... who knows.   
      
   It's not a priority. ;)   
      
    RM>>> and a more intuitive rescan. (telling me that I am already   
    RM>>> subscribed instead of doing a rescan on that area)   
    WV>> What's not intuitive about:   
    WV>>   FMAIL_HELP /R      Connect area FMAIL_HELP and rescan all messages   
    WV>>                      in the message base   
      
    RM> When I do the above with a area that I am already connected to, it tells   
   me   
    RM> that I am already connected to.   
      
    RM> My naive assumption is that it will do a rescan anyways, as that is   
   clearly   
    RM> what I wanted. It should not matter if I am already connected or not ...   
    RM> just do a rescan damit ;))))   
      
    RM> But maybe it is just me.   
    RM> =area works, but is not what I would call very intuitive.   
    RM> (Husky has "%rescan area" for that ... if you are not connected it will   
    RM> connect you, and do a rescan no matter if you were connected before or   
   not)   
      
   I don't know why the original author made it like this, but this is how it's   
   working for decades...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
