   Hi Nicholas,   
      
   On 2017-09-07 20:45:24, you wrote to Paul Quinn:

   FMail uses the area tag for auto created areas. But filters out characters   
   that conflict with filesystems (like : / \), and I also changed it to convert   
   uppercase to lowercase a while back, in preperation of the linux version...

   What I've seen is that every software uses it's own format, so is there a   
   "correct" one? Certainly the ftsc hasn't documented one...   
      
    NB> Right. It was the areas.bbs format you had above that confused me, not

   echomail.jam was read correctly! (If that wasn't clear yet?) ;)   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
