      MSGID: 2:221/1.58 465c590f       CHRS: LATIN-1 2       TZUTC: 0400       REPLY: 2:310/31 5c84d306       //Hallo Richard, //              am *10.03.19* um *10:01:28* schriebst Du in der Area *POINTS*       an *August Abolins* eine Mail zum       Thema *"Heeeeellllp"*.                      AA>> I do have to confess that I ran into some confusion about:        AA>> Beschreibung/Relativ Zeile = 0 Beschreibung/Anfangspalte = 32        AA>> Areaname/Anfangspalte = 6               RM> This part is made very badly indeed. First it ignores ANYTHING not in        RM> CAPS.              Thanks for that. My boss sends the arealist all in lowercase. For example:              Available areas for 2:221/1.58               10th_amd        12_steps        24000.ger        4dos        60s_70s_progrock        80xxx        aarp_fraud ............................. "AARP Fraud Warning Network News"        abled        adept_sysop        ads_announce        adsl        aftershock        aioe.system        aioe.test        alabama.test        alaska_chat        all-politics              ..so, maybe this is why I can't seem to pick anything after the "Use as       Arealist" function.                             RM> I think the first is how many lines to ignore. (introduction info without        RM> real areas) Then it is simply column where the areaname is and column        RM> where the description is.               RM> But areaname needs to be CAPS.              Hmm... I don't think I have any control how my boss builds the arealist. As       above, it arrives in LOWERCASE. :(              This could be a modest shortcoming with Winpoint.                     ../|ug                            --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Original WinPoint Origin!
