    Looks like you're getting somewhere with this with the authors (and I didn't know the answer). However, you may want to inform your uplink on the proper way to setup echolists. 1:218/700 shouldn't be showing you Zeronet (911:) areas in an Areafix response.

    There's a non-intuitive setting in scfg to limit areafix responses to
    the specific zone of the requester, does anyone recall where it is? I
    fixed this issue once years ago, but can't find it in my notes.

    Doesn't ring a bell. Maybe you're referring to keys/required keys for echocfg->echolists?

    It's not in SCFG.

    It's done in ../ctrl/sbbsecho.ini , which can be modified with 'echocfg'
    or by manually editing the .ini file. It's done with the Echolist
    definition stanzas in that file, and the "KEYS" key in each linked
    node's configuration. Documented on the Wiki.

    I'm pretty sure "allow nodes to add areas from areas file" in
    echocfg->echomail settings allows users to see all areas in the
    areas.bbs file, not just areas corresponding to the allowed keys. I ran
    into this a couple of years ago and seem to recall that behavior
    (%list% showing all areas)

    Maybe not non-intuitive, but if this is causing the behavior a caveat
    in the help file that this setting overrides echolist keys might be a
    good thing.

    Great thanks. Now we just need fseditor to work properly. Those are probably the 2 main editors. Assigning to Deuce to look at.

    Yeah, I'm not going to work on this, but if I was going to, I would likely make something to toggle the quote style.
