And why not. :-)

Ok, I have some enhancements and some fixes for you:

  * Perform net/node matching in NetAreas.

    E.g. I have three point addresses (3:633/267.1{at}fidonet, 3:635/727.4 &
    3:632/103.9) all sharing the same NetArea.  When I send netmail to
    3:635/727.1, I want MsgEd to use my 3:635/727.4 address, and _not_
    default to 3:633/267.1.


  * Read ^aAREA: line created by the WIMM personal mail scanner.

    When user selects Alt+N to reply to another area, if the current message
    has a ^aAREA: line, pull the echotag from it and use that to auto-select
    the new conference from a list, e.g.

     +---
     | Area: personal_mail
     | From: Paul Edwards
     | To: andrew clarke
     | Subj: MsgEd
     |
     | ^aPID: Msgedsq/2 3.xx
     | ^aSOT:
     | ^aAREA: PUBLIC_DOMAIN
     | -=> Note: Copied from PUBLIC_DOMAIN by WIMM/2 1.31
     |
     | ...
     |
     | BFN. Paul.
     | ^aEOT:
     |
     | ---
     +---

    User hits Alt+N.  User gets the area list.  Area list automatically
    points to PUBLIC_DOMAIN.


  * User cannot edit origin line.


  * Alt+H for Help doesn't work anymore.  Maybe I'm too braindead to
    know how enable it. :-)


  * When kludge lines are turned on (Alt+V), and user returns from
    added before the original.

Do these restrictions apply while within the internal editor, or after a
message has been saved?


PE>> P.S. It was either you or Rowan that wanted me to generate

ac>> That'd probably be Rowan.  Good feature that.

Well, half of it. |-)
