You may have better luck with BW or OMEN format offline packets,
possibly QWKE packets may help also.

I haven't ever used BW or OMEN format, but I can confirm that
using QWKE packets will make the area names show properly in
MultiMail.

Your message made me curious so I downloaded a few messages to read and look it over in multimail.
I downloaded an offline packet in OMEN format and it says this is the fido.linux_bbs area, the same as I see on the BBS. <<Prism BBS also supports OMEN offline packets (called grab format in BBBS) so you could try that and see if it works better for you.

You are using Synchronet.. :)
The SBBS developers have extended QWK largely. I haven't used QWK
as a user for
eons so I'm not really up on the QWK user experience but for QWK networking SBBS nodes don't need to use QWKE for longer user
names and subject lines. SBBS QWK nodes can also transfer netmail
and files between nodes. It's really impressive how that works.

Offline mail formats all came along years ago and had there
limitations.

But how different is QWK from QWKE?
On the MultiMail GitHub repo, I saw in the HISTORY that QWKE was supported, so I submitted a doc patch to mention that in the
README and the man page. This was the reply from the maintainer:

QWKE is simply an extension to QWK... the 'E' comes from "Extension"... v1.02 of the QWKE spec is the latest...

that's one link to it... i'm sure there are others on other systems...

Looks like you figured out what I meant by "truncated". I wasn't too
clear on that, but yeah.. for me, fido.linux_bbs gets truncated to 'fido.linux.bb', fido.fidonet.org gets truncated to 'fido.fidonet.'
In another messaage I just wrote, I mentioned OMEN solves that. Thanks
for your

Does the bbs format the omen format or is it the qwk mail reader?
