OK, I was looking in the wrong place. I see now how that works.

Another question, this one on Msged 4.10. My function zero macro used to
scan Netmail as well as echo mail at start up:

^m * \0X1e


^m to get by the opening screen, * to scan all areas, and \0x1e to put me
in area list. With 4.1, my netmail area isn't scanned. If I scan a second
time, the netmail area is scanned. The simple fix was to scan twice in the
function 0 macro:


^m * * \0X1e


This works fine, but I was wondering why the first scan always shows my
netmail area as zero messages????? After a second scan the true number of
messages is shown.
