   Hi Wilfred!   
      
   23 Nov 2016 13:24, from Wilfred van Velzen -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
    WV> The %RESCAN command in FMail works as specified in FSC-0057.003:   
    WV> "This may be accomplished by specifying the %RESCAN command in the   
    WV> body of the request. This will force the ConfMgr to generate a scan   
    WV> request for those areas which the remote system requested with   
    WV> themessage containing the %RESCAN command."   
      
   For me there is nothing in the above that shows that it applies only to new   
   non existing areas.   
      
   Also for me the section below it discussing dupes does not make sense in that   
   scenario.   
      
   If you only can rescan newly requested areas, you will not generate dupes.   
   (Exception if you add some links automatically to newly generated areas on   
   your local system).   
      
   But I think we are turning in (unnecessary) circles.   
   I know now what to send to rescan an existing area.   
      
   There is more than one config option on many different softwares that I find   
   unlogical.   
   So the fault lies probably in me ;)   
   (But I still think is that sending back a "you are already connected to that   
   area" message is a bit unintuitive if you rescan an area that is active for   
   you already)
