    From Vince Coen@2:250/1 to All on Thursday, August 13, 2015 15:53:21
    Hello All!

    Is there a way of adding the 'help' message to the beginning or end of the notify messages without cutting & pasting?

    As it is it only goes out if a request containing

    %HELP

    is in the body of mesasge.

    You could edit one of the areamgr.* templates. I'm not sure witch one but I did a few edits to mine a while back.

    You need to carefully edit and test those files.. :)

    I had a feeling it was kile that - was hoping for an easier solution such as - #include areafix.help

    I think that's exactly it actually, but I'm not exactly sure how you'll need
    to do that. A little trial and error will get it going the way you want.
    That's why I mentioned testing.. :)
