   Hey Rick!

   Not sure if it's documented or not, but the format you use is "SMB". So here   
   I'm currently using:   
      
   areadef SYNCMAIL "Synchronet Mail"  local SMB /path/to/sbbs/data/mail   
      
   If you're currently using mail.ini, then "" can probably just be 0 (or   
   make a new group for it so it can be displayed first using the "AREALISTSORT"   
   keyword). I'm not using mail.ini, but instead am including a file using the   
   "AREADEF" keyword for every area. I have multiple groups configured for each   
   network so I can display them in the order I want them.   
      
   As I said before, I've tried "net" instead of local, and writing to that area   
   wasn't working properly. You can try "local" or "echo" and see if either of   
   them work for writing to it, as I haven't tested those thoroughly yet. I was   
   hoping "local" might work, because it doesn't add anything extra to the   
   message that could confuse Synchronet, and Synchronet itself should know that   
   that is an email/netmail area already, so would/should know how to handle the   
   message without Golded's help or additions.   
      
   I just don't know the answer to that yet. If none of those options work, then   
   it may have to be filed as a bug, needing more attention. ;)   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
