   When I'm not pissing people off I can come up with some really  good   
   suggestions.... and here is one... I have recently subscribed to a UseNET   
   feed... When I first got setup he had a fidonet.na file and and I auto-added   
   the areas.  As part of this file each area had some sort of unique name and   
   then the area definition was the actual UseNET group name... Looked like   
   this...   
      
   u7055475       alt.abortion   
   u5334240       alt.acting   
   u5795186       alt.activism   
   u2895624       alt.activism.children   
   u3019480       alt.activism.community   
      
   So... as I auto added the areas into Mystic it gave each area a unique file   
   name for the message areas... giving them an 8 and 3 structure.   
      
   This person has since added new areas to my feed, not a big deal, Mystic   
   auto-adds the areas... but as you know Mystic is auto-creats the areas the   
   storage file names are huge... alt.hampster.duct-tape.*   
      
   Could Mystic just auto-add the areas with some computer generated hexadecimal 8   
   character file name unique to that message area so instead of creating JAM   
   files that resemble the alt.hampster area it would be RANDOM12.*   
      
   Thanx
