Hmm, appears you are correct and as I was telling Charles Angelich
it IS possible to kludge a reset using a QWK upload using 
MultiMail. I thought I remembered doing message pointer resets in a 
QWK upload and just like you said the clue is in the door.id file :-)
Now if I could just remember HOW.
You're correct that it addresses the message area selections in the
TO: field as WCMAIL as that's just what the automated subscription 
feature  addresses them in the .REP IIRC.
I must play around with the reset syntax and see if I can stumble
across that which I once knew. 
I _think_ you just put reset -nn in the subject field, I'll
put it to the test in this upload.
