   I've been involved with CrossPoint/XP2/FreeXP/OpenXP for the last 23 years     
   and I'm still learning ;-)

   Thanks but my BossNode is also using hpt and there are many areas in his     
   areas list which have an "S" and a "*" before the area name. I need to do     
   some further testing to see if it's a bug in OpenXP.   
      
    MF>> All I can suggest for now is to manually compose a message to Areafix.   
      
    RM> That is the workaround that I use ;))   
      
   I have an alternative workaround for you .....   
      
   Use the Area Manager to unsubscribe from an echomail area and save the     
   message but *before* doing the Netcall, select "Message/Unsent/Show" from     
   the main window of OpenXP. This will show all messages which are waiting     
   to be sent. Cursor over the AreaFix message and select "Message/Unsent/    
   Edit" which will load the Areafix message into the message editor where     
   you can remove the stuff that shouldn't be there. Then save the message     
   and that should work OK.   
      
    RM> But it is strange that you can use the manager to subscribe, but not to   
    RM> unsubscribe.   
      
   It might be a bug in OpenXP.   
      
   Regards,
