That makes sense.

 de> "htick" only looks for robot messages (areafix/filefix) in the "robots"

This I had to re-read twice :) But I understand because of complexity it
makes sense (and works) to copy filefix incoming to a dedicated bots base.

My original config has a 

robotsarea NETMAIL

but I updated it to

robotsarea BOTMAIL

The later defined

NetmailArea NETMAIL /msgs/netmail/netmail -b Jam -g Z -dupehistory 1100 -d
"Netmail Catch-all"
NetmailArea BOTMAIL /msgs/netmail/botmail -b Jam -g Z -dupehistory 1100 -d
"BOT Netmail"

I'm hoping along with some scripting you have provided I will be OK.
