    KR> Yes, even your version should be able to create *.msg type message   
    KR> areas. ;)    
      
   Can I get GoldEd to create different message base formats for different echo   
   areas and use them seemlessly at the same time ?   
      
   MJ> or do I need to create them using a BBS first before I can edit them   
    MJ> with GoldEd ?   
      
    KR> Depending on your setup and what you want to do with goldeds echos   
    KR> that is the recommended way. Your BBS usually doesn't know goldeds   
    KR> self created areas. If your BBS should use those message areas it's   
    KR> easier to create areas with the BBS and use the areafile import to   
    KR> teach those to golded automatically.    
    KR> Regards   
      
   Well, I am thinking about running a mail-only node and want to know if I can   
   use GoldEd for reading/writing mail or inspecting/debugging packets. Also   
   there are area statistics generators that I would like to use that require   
   message bases.
