Hello everybody!


If you haven't done a areafix of late please think about doing one as there have been a new range of echo's added
to the system.



=== Cut ===

Here's some help about how you can use AreaFix to change your echomail areas. All AreaFix commands are case insensitive, you may use %help as well as %HELP.

Example:

Msg : 5 of 8 Pvt
From : Your Name 3:633/2801 13 Feb 22 19:51:12
To : AreaFix 3:633/280 13 Feb 22 21:57:42
Subj : PASSWORD <- Your password ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ %HELP <- AreaFix will send you this help.
%INFO <- Ask for general information
%LIST <- List accessible areas
%LIST <areamask> <- List accessible areas matching the pattern %LIST ! <areamask> <- List accessible areas not matching the pattern %QUERY <- List the areas you are currently subscribed to %LINKED <- The same as %QUERY
%UNLINKED <- List the areas you are not subscribed to
%AVAIL <- List all areas that are available at
this system and its uplinks
%AVAIL <areamask> <- List the areas available at this system and
its uplinks and matching the pattern
%AVAIL ! <areamask> <- List the areas available at this system and
its uplinks and not matching the pattern
<area> <- Subscribe to the area
+<area> <- Subscribe to the area
-<area> <- Unsubscribe from the area
<areamask> <- Subscribe to all areas matching the pattern -<areamask> <- Unsubscribe from the areas matching the pattern * <- Subscribe to all areas available for you
-* <- Unsubscribe from all linked areas
~<area> <- Delete the area
<area> /r <- Subscribe and rescan the area
<area> /r=N <- Subscribe and rescan the last N messages
<area> /r=N days <- Subscribe & rescan mails for the last N days %RESCAN <area> <- Rescan (send all messages from) the area %RESCAN <areamask> <- Rescan the areas matching the pattern
%RESCAN <area> N <- Rescan the last N messages from the area %RESCAN <area> N days <- Rescan messages for the last N days
%RESCAN <- Rescan the areas subscribed below in the same
message to areafix
%PAUSE <- Suspend receiving echomail preserving the
subscription
%RESUME <- Resume receiving echomail after the PAUSE %COMPRESS <- Ask for the list of compression algorithms %COMPRESS zip <- Set current compression to 'zip'
%COMPRESS none <- Turn off bundling of your echomail
%PACKER <packer> <- The same as %compress
%RSB on <- Turn on reduced SEEN-BY mode (FSC-0093)
%RSB off <- Turn off reduced SEEN-BY mode (FSC-0093)
%RULES on <- Start sending rules of any subscribed echo %RULES off <- Stop sending rules of any subscribed echo %PKTSIZE N <- Set max. packet (*.pkt) size to N kb
%PKTSIZE 0 <- Set unlimited packet (*.pkt) size
%ARCMAILSIZE N <- Set max. bundle size to N kb
%ARCMAILSIZE 0 <- Set unlimited bundle size
%AREAFIXPWD [password] <- Set a new password for areafix requests,
an empty password is allowed
%PKTPWD [password] <- Set a new password for .pkt, maximum 8 chars,
an empty password is allowed
Notes:
Any other lines will be ignored
<area> - an areaname, for example FIDOSOFT.HUSKY
<areamask> - areamask may contain '*' and '?' wild card characters,
'*' may substitute any string and '?' substitutes one character;
for example, ru.*
N - some number
[password] - optional password without brackets. If no password is
specified, an empty password will be used
You may also specify 1/0 as the aliases for on/off.
Example: "%RSB 1" acts the same as "%RSB on".

Hello everybody!

I've been over the past week been beating areafix into submission on the hub....

The result is now areafixable both fidonet area's and usenet newsgroups.

To get the list of newsgroups, grab it from here: http://m68k.vk3heg.net/newsgroup.txt
It's just a bit big to include in a echomail...


The following is the full list of fidonet area's. Some are already on the hub, other's are not.
It looks like a lot of them have no descriptions, so it's a guessing game.

Hello everybody!

I've been over the past week beating areafix into submission on the hub....

The result is now areafixable both fidonet area's and usenet newsgroups.

To get the list of newsgroups, grab it from here: http://m68k.vk3heg.net/newsgroup.txt
It's just a bit big to include in a echomail... (I don't really want to post it in 22 chunks @ 32K each)

The following is the full list of fidonet area's. Some are already on the hub, other's are not.
It looks like a lot of them have no descriptions, so it's a guessing game.
