   ..... messages are now tossed into the "Doppelte Nachrichten" (Dupes) folder.   
   So, it's now just a simple matter of switching uplinks on/off in the   
   Properties for each area. This is fine for just a few areas but it would be   
   very laborious and time consuming for lots of areas. Just thought I'd throw   
   that one into the pot :-)
