Hi Suji,

Yes, once you get your own node number from Paul/Avon you'll be able to send a netmail message to Areafix and %RESCAN a bunch of older messages.  I don't believe this is possible if you're using the /999 address though.

You'll want to make sure you send this message as a Netmail, so make sure you have a netmail base setup.  (Message Base Type = Netmail)
