    From IB Joe@1:342/201 to All on Tue May 7 12:13:22 2024
    I was looking at FMail and I wanted to auto populate all the conferences in the backbone.na ... I thought you can do this.. my efforts failed.

    Can I do this??

    Thanx

    You can only import the descriptions from a backbone.na type file for existing areas. The backbone.na file contains to little information to create areas.

    You can import areas from a number of other type of files, including areas.bbs.

    However fmail can auto create areas from received messages.

    I know, nobody reads doc files anymore, but it's all in there! ;-)
