AM>>>> %RESCAN RED_OCTOBER

 AM>>>> + AUST_TRADING

 AM>>>> - STTNG



 PE>>>> Ok, I don't know why the RESCAN happened for both areas

 PE>>>> instead of one, but then I haven't read the docs.  Alan

 PE>>>> read the docs and said RESCAN rescans all new areas added,

 PE>>>> but I don't necessarily believe him.



 AM>>> Maybe if I were to leave the rescaned echos as the last in
the list...



 PM>> From memory you can rescan just one area by using ^RED_OCTOBER.



 PE> A bit of a moot point now anyway, everything is passthrough except for

 PE> netmail, and that's not rescannable!  BFN.



Don't you pass the rescan command to your uplink? It would then depend on
whether he had a message base or not. Of course, he could just pass it to
his uplink as well!
