Yep, it's really annoying.

I got several netmail areas for different tasks, like areamgr for example.
I've also set up a bunch of filter rules to sort incoming netmail to
specific areas (similar to what procmail does for email).

That would work for a archive type area.

Too simple ;) The current setup is intended.

I don't think that this would be a good idea when moving a message from a
netmail area to an echomail area. The "crash" attribute wouldn't
make much sense for an echomail. Therefor my idea was to keep the
attributes when source and destination area are of the same type.
