subject: Netmail problems

Hello Stephen!

Patrick and I went over several things on IRC last night and I discovered,
much to my dismay, about the seperate netmail area requirements for each
network.  I have to say that I find that extremely odd, as the other 20+
BBS packages I've tried have never had such a requirement (save for
Telegard, which didn't support *.MSG netmail in any way, but that's another
story).

Is it possible for the idea of having all networks tied to a single netmail
area looked at?  I know it might involve some major changes, but due to the
networking setup I have, it's a real limitation to certain things that I
do.

Also, another item: multiple AKAs for the same network.  I not only run my
own network, but am a ZC for a few other networks, so I carry multiple AKAs
for the same network for mail purposes.  The issue isn't as bad as the
above-I can work around only using one address-but it might be something to
look into.

Unfortunately, I know this isn't your code you wrote, but both of the above
are pretty nasty limitations to someone who's a hub like I am for six
networks.  I want you to know I'm not whining or complaining-just seeing if
an inquiry can be made into the above. ;)

Thanks, as always, for considering my ideas.

Later,
Sean
