   Hello Martin,   
      
   On 28.04.19, you wrote to August Abolins:   
      
    AA>> Two bad we can't even Reply in the echo (utilizing the templates) and   
    AA>> then change the Area in the header.   
      
    MF> Hey, that's a brilliant idea, just tried it and .....   
      
   I like your application of the word: brilliant.  :)   
      
   Maybe the programmer had a problem transposing the templates into   
   Netmail/.MSG, and decided to just allow changing the Area as a work-around.

   Or.. something is *missing* in the message header?  I may be able to duplicate   
   the original problem, if I remember the message I tried it with.  Then we need   
   to identify the source of the problem.  Then.. 1 more bug for the WinPoint   
   entomotaxy?
