My jam message base was created and maintained by fastecho, when I plugged
in fmail to access the same message base, it mucked it up, often tossing
the messages into one echo like FIDONEWS. Not all areas showed up in golded
using the areafile keyword.

So I created a separate message base for only fmail, setup autoexport to
create a areas.gld file, and that works.

It would be nice if the setup program was win32, and had a more logical
flow to it likefastechoes or even RA's..
