   There are these settings regarding AreaFix messages:   
      
      3.3.4     Mgr options   
      
      For a more extensive explanation of some of the options below, see   
      also paragraph 3.8.   
      
      Keep requests   
      
             Do not delete AreaMgr requests after they have been   
             processed.   
      
      Keep receipts   
      
             Do not set the KILL attribute on receipts created by   
             AreaMgr.   
      
   Besides that, they are just netmails that should be treated as such. But I   
   don't use a hudson area for my netmail, I keep them all as *.msg's. So I don't   
   know how that would work out exactly, with a hudson netmail area. And so I   
   don't use the 'import' funciton of FMail:   
      
      4.3       Import   
      
      Imports netmail messages destined for your system into the message   
      base. A netmail board should be defined in FConfig. Whether or not   
      messages to the Sysop should be imported can also be defined in   
      FConfig. The /A switch tells FMail to ignore AreaMgr requests.   
      
      
   Wilfred.
