Hi Rick!

RS> Thank you for the arealistsort command helpful!

Sorry I did not get what you want, but here is the description from
gold_ref.txt

AREALISTFORMAT <string> ("AM D CPUN E G ")

   The arealist column layout is configurable. This keyword allows you
   to change the layout to whatever you like

   The default is:
     AREALISTFORMAT "AM D CPUN E G "

   This produces the usual layout. Here is another:
     AREALISTFORMAT "ME D CPUN G "

   This one puts the echoid in front and eliminates the area numbers.

   The letters stand for the following:

     letter  meaning                                 default width
     A       Area number                             4
     M       Marked                                  1
     D       Description                             Dynamic
     C       Number of messages                      6
     P       Personal mail mark ('+')                1
     U       Number of unread/new messages           6
     N       Changed since last scan mark ('*')      1
     E       Echoid                                  AREALISTECHOMAX
     G       Groupid                                 Dynamic: 0, 1 or 3

   You can also specify widths if you don't like the defaults:

     AREALISTFORMAT "AM D C4PU4N E G "

   In this example, the Msgs and New columns are put back to the size
   they had in "old days".

   If you leave out a letter, that column will not be shown.

   Use only the defined letters. Use spaces to specify required space
   between columns. Use only positive numbers for widths. Failure to
   obey these rules may cause undocumented behaviour.

CU, Ricsi
