   Hello everybody!

Just wanted to know how you all handle this. I went into "Miscellaneous - Message Base" and assigned them like this:
***
Bad message board   1
Dupl. message board 2
Recovery board      3
***
I also put the path to a new, previously empty directory into "Personal mail - Pers. mail path" to get copies of (echo area) mails sent to me.

From what I could see, there's no way that GoldEd would pick those up automatically (or is there?), so I had to put this in golded.cfg:
***
AREADEF Netmail  "NETMAIL"  0 Net OPUS f:\fido\netmail
AREADEF Personal "PERSONAL" A Net OPUS f:\fido\persmail
AREADEF Badmail  "BADMAIL"  A Local Hudson 1
AREADEF Dupes    "DUPES"    A Local Hudson 2
AREADEF Recovery "RECOVERY" A Local Hudson 3
***
(HUDSONPATH and JAMPATH are also configured; AutoExport generates areas.gld in the golded directory)

Am I overlooking something obvious, or is this the way to go? Because from what I understood, the "BBS area file path" found in the AutoExport settings is for, well, BBS configs, right?

Regards
Fermin
