I'm running Mystic v1.12 A45 (2020/02/18) on Windows 10 32bit.  I can
auto-create file areas but the auto-prefix option doesn't seem to work
for me.

It seems to ignore the (address)_dir_prefix= option and only use the
dir_prefix= option.

Here's what I have in my mailin.ini:

bad_dir=c:\mystic\files\badfile   
unsecure_dir = false
no_desc=No Description
uploader=NRBBS
check_crc  = true
check_size = true
allow_unsecure = false
allow_replace = true
auto_create = true
1:229/426_bad_dir       = c:\mystic\files\bad-fdn\
1:229/426_dir_prefix    = c:\mystic\files\fdn_
1:229/426_allow_replace = true
1:229/426_acs_list      = s10z2
1:229/426_acs_ftp       = s255z2
1:229/426_acs_download  = s20z2
1:229/426_acs_upload    = s255z2
1:229/426_acs_hatch          = s255z2
1:229/426_acs_sysop          = s255z2
dir_prefix = c:\mystic\files\
dispfile     =
template     = ansiflst
acs_ftp      = s255
acs_hatch    = s255
free_files    = 0
show_uploader = 1
new_scan      = 1


I have several other lines in the .ini file such as:

21:3/100_dir_prefix          = c:\mystic\files\fsx_
46:1/156_dir_prefix          = c:\mystic\files\agora_
1337:3/100_dir_prefix        = c:\mystic\files\tqw_
618:500/1_dir_prefix         = c:\mystic\files\mcn_

It will create the new file base just fine, but it ignores the prefixed
dir_prefix line and just uses "naked" dir_prefix option.  All of the other
settings seem to carry over.  I tried removing the dir_prefix= option but
then the FileToss stanza just errors out.
