I've never tried it, but in the manuals subdirectory take a look at gold_ref.txt, and more specifically.. the AREAFILE keyword:

  AREAFILE  [path or filename(s)] [-options]

Here is the listing for D'Bridge:

 D'Bridge

    Reads the DBRIDGE.AA1/.AA2 files (for version 1.30) or the
    DBRIDGE.ADF of the later versions.

    Looks for the "DBRIDGE" and "DB" environment variables.

As a matter of fact, while in gold_ref.txt, just do a continuous search for D'Bridge and you can use any of the configurations in conjunction with each other. If that doesn't help, or you don't like the outcome, you may be able to add your areas manually for a more detailed mail area setup using the GOLDAREA.INC file, along with AREADEF, AREALISTSORT, AREASEP and other related keywords; which all can also be found in gold_ref.txt.

If using an older version of Golded for Arca OS, that reference file may not be in the manuals directory, just grab it from the latest sources on github, along with any other manuals or documentation you may be missing.

Regards,
Nick
