Okey, you need to have some keyword in your msged.cfg file like this:

   ----- MSGED.CFG begins -----
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Sample Msged configuration file
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name "Kim Lykkegaard"
Name "Moderator"
;
Template msged.tpl
Template fidopol.tpl
Template dansk.tpl
;
Group "R23" 0 2
Group "FIDOPOLITIK_R23.PNT" 1 1
   ----- MSGED.CFG ends -----

If you whant to use the same template to all your areas, you need just one
line with: Template msged.tpl

If you want different templats to different area, you can use the keyword
Group to set what templates you want to use.

Group   

 Is a string witch msged look for i your
msgarea As faar as i can remember MsGed search area description and NOT
areatag (a littel stupid IMHO).

 is the number of names you have in your msged.cfg - remember
the first name = 0.

 is the number of templates you have in your MsGed.cfg -
remember that the first template is number 0.

You shoud have a copy of msged.tpl but just incase I will show you a short
version. You can experiment from this or mail me on lykkegaa{at}post8.tele.dk
and I will send you the complete file.

   ----- MsGed.TPL begins -----

; Lines will be included into the resulting message depending on the
