As I just stated in another echo (Argus), FMail is driving me up the wall.
It INSISTS on making the first echo area number 201. I want the echos
starting at 20, not 201. But no matter what I try the exported file always
puts echos at 201. Driving me batty and making me want to purge fmail from
my system.
