Hello Martin,

On 28.04.19, you wrote to August Abolins:

I like your application of the word: brilliant.  :)

Maybe the programmer had a problem transposing the templates into Netmail/.MSG,
 and decided to just allow changing the Area as a work-around.

Or.. something is *missing* in the message header?  I may be able to duplicate
the original problem, if I remember the message I tried it with.  Then we need
to identify the source of the problem.  Then.. 1 more bug for the WinPoint
