      Hi Nicholas,              On 2017-09-07 20:45:24, you wrote to Paul Quinn:               NB> Is that some sort of separate option or setting? I can only seem to        NB> recall areatag-esque filenames created by FastEcho when I used it some        NB> ages ago. At least I don't remember any tosser I've ever used making        NB> filenames like that by default.              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...               NB> This is probably where I was confused when originally setting up FMail        NB> with an areas.bbs. I suppose I've just seen way too many different        NB> formats of areas.bbs to know which is actually the _correct_ one.              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        NB> the echomail.jam format. Have you tried a test post on an echo not        NB> cloned from FE to see if echomail.jam is read properly?              echomail.jam was read correctly! (If that wasn't clear yet?) ;)                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)    |
