ml> i haven't found it so i'm asking... is there any way to have fmail

 WvV> You will have to upgrade to atleast the 1.60 version:

hummm...

 WvV> NEW FEATURES IN 1.60
 WvV> ====================
 WvV> ...
 WvV> - FTOOLS ADDNEW function has been added. If you run this command
 WvV> after new   areas have been received (FMail Toss), these areas
 WvV> will be added to   FMAIL.AR (using the defaults you set on the
 WvV> AreaMgr defaults page in   FSetup). After that, you can run FMAIL
 WvV> TOSS /B to retoss the bad messages.   You can detect the arrival
 WvV> of new areas by testing from your batch file   whether or not
 WvV> FMAIL.BDE exists in the FMail directory.

i already do this detection and then fire up the setup program to manually
add the areas...

 WvV>   If you add the switch /A, the files that are normally updated by
 WvV> FSetup's   AutoUpdate feature, will also be updated by FTools
 WvV> AddNew. ...

thank you for the information... i will consider if i really want to
upgrade to 1.60...
