Here's some help about how you can use AreaFix to change your echomail areas.

You just have to write a message to 'AreaFix' and tell AreaFix what he has to
do for you.


Example:

 Msg  : 13 of 23                    Uns Pvt Loc K/s
 From : Tobias Burchhardt           2:243/5039             Wed 31 Dec 93 23:59

 %RESCAN                      <- Rescan following area(s) and add if area(s)

 %QUERY                       <- Ask for your active areas

 %LIST                        <- List available areas
 %UNLINKED                    <- List available areas to which
                                 you are currently not linked
 %AVAIL                       <- List all areas that are available at
                                 this system's uplinks
 %PAUSE                       <- If you go to holiday you can
                                 stop receiving echomail for that
                                 time without manually removing each
                                 area with '-AREANAME'.
 %RESUME                      <- Switch echomail receiving ON again.

 %COMPRESS ?                  <- Send a list of available packers
 %PWD password                <- Change your AreaFix password
 %PKTPWD password             <- Change your ARCmail password
 %HELP                        <- AreaFix will send you this help.

Instead of %QUERY, %INFO, %LIST, %UNLINKED, %AVAIL and %RESCAN, you can also
specify '-Q', '-I' , '-L', '-U', '-A' and '-R' as flags after the password.

Example: password -Q -L -A
