Do you actually benefit from anything 2-3 years old?

If I were to switch tossers, I would most likely create all new JAM areas and 
pull a rescan from my uplink. That gets me WELL over what I care to read, but 
populates the message areas anyways.

Maybe a warning label in recent tossers' documentation stating "IT IS STRONGLY 
ADVISED TO *NOT* USE THIS SOFTWARE WITH JAM AREAS ANOTHER TOSSER HAS CREATED 
AND MAINTAINED," is in order? :)

It's not only FMail either. I just had an issue trying to take over some JAM 
areas that were created and maintained by HPT with another tosser. If one minor 
thing is out of place or differs between the two softwares, there won't be good 
results.

Regards,
Nick
