Looks like my first message didn't make it, so here it is again:

I saw that there is some interest so I've made my patches available
from the web. I've sent it to Andrew, but for those that can't wait
the diffs can be downloaded from:

		http://diana.zems.fer.hr/~aivanise/msgediff.zip 

Short explanation:

areas.c: 

- enter an area with right-arrow
- any substring is matched in area search, you don't have to type area
  name from the beginning.
  
I got so used to that two features using timed, that i found it easier
to change the source than to change my habits :-)

- selectarea takes additional parameter; default area to position to.

fecfg145.h:

new file with fastecho.ini structures.

config.c:

- implemented reading and recognising quick areas definitions in
  AREAS.BBS. I don't know if it is standard but at least fastecho
  exports them that way when exporting its area config in AREAS.BBS.

- new function check_fastecho to read fastecho.cfg. Usage:
	Areafile fastecho d:\point\fe\fastecho.cfg
	in msged.cfg.
	
- i made areas_type global variable (SW->areas_type) because i needed
it in another modules.

editmail.h, wrap.c:

New internal editor function: zap_quotes (zap). Killing all quotes
from cursor to the end of message. Default binding Alt-Z (i hope :-)

list.c, nshow.c:

I've added Read flag utilising times_read field in qbbs headers. I
wanted to implement it for squish too, but there is no times_read
field there and i didnt' want to improvise. 

If the message has been read "Read" is shown in Attributes: line, and
it has an asterisk near it in list mode.

makemsgn.c:

if a message has an area: kludge, reply is automatically changed to
reply to other area. That way you will never accidentaly end up
replying in PERSONALS. Also automatic selection of an area stated in
area kludge when replying.

There is a bit of junk code i copied from another modules here as i
tried to implement swapping when spawning the external editor in DOS,
but havent got it to work yet. 

msg.c:

this is the only problem i found when linking a DLL in sqdev200.
_msgapierr is here called msgapierr (w/o underscore). Or vice-versa i
forgot :-)

msged.c:

I changed right() to go to next area with unread messages instead of
just ignoring it. A notice is displayed when there are no more areas
with unread messages. Another feature of timed that i'm so used to.

msged.h:

new variables in global structures; replyarea, fecfgpath and before
mentioned areas_type i made global.

quick.c: 

lots of bug fixes. I don't know if there are any more but at least it
doesn't trash the msgbase anymore. Implemented threading. Fixed
lastread pointers. 

readmail.c:

support for area: kludge. Origin lines for quick areas are read from
fastecho.cfg if present.

And that's about it. Sorry for my bad english, let me know if you want
more info.
