Hi Sean,

On 2025-11-20 14:58:40, you wrote to All:

You mean when using the 'addnew' function of ftools?

That's a documented feature ;-) :

"""
6.11      Addnew

Automatically add new areas detected during FMail Toss to the
FMAIL.AR. FMail will use the default settings defined in the    <---
AreaMgr defaults section of FConfig. A name for JAM areas is
generated automatically.

ÿ         FTools Addnew [-A]

          [-A]  AutoExport external config files
                See paragraph 3.5.2 for which files this relates to,
                and how to configure them.
"""

And you have to realize a Group is not the same as a network. Groups are used
for giving users access to a number of areas that are part of a group.
I have multiple groups for Fidonet areas. Local, Regional, European, and
Worldwide areas are in different groups.

And FMail has no knowledge which group is used for which network.

Personally I don't use the automatic Addnew function of ftools. There are
hardly ever any new areas in the networks I'm connected to, and when they
arrive I want to handle them manually.


Bye, Wilfred.
