I see. Nice to know :-)

A reason for having several points in a HotdogEd instance would be being able to use different encodings for receiving echos. For example, CP866 for RU areas on point A, and CP437, UTF-8 or other on point B for the rest of areas.

HotdogEd allows you to set a specific charset (codepage) for each area (group), but it only works for exporting echomail. For incoming messages, it uses the global Codepage in the point's Server settings.
