 +The "To All" message type is intended for a SysOp to leave messages to all users. 
 +Any messages entered in this area will considered "To All" regardless of the whom 
 +the "To" is addressed to.  Messages entered in this area will be shown when ProBoard 
 +checks for waiting mail.  You may not want to allow users to reply to these messages 
 +since their replies will be sent to all users.  A better idea is to set the "Reply 
 +Area" to a different message area number if you decide to let users reply to your 
 +announcement messages. 
 + 
 +**Name Options**

 + 
 +  * **Real Names Only:** Obvious I guess 
 +  * **Free Alias:**  The user can choose any alias he likes, as long as it's not used by another user. 
 +  * **Fixed Alias (or real name):** The user can choose between his real name and his alias 
 +  * **Fixed Alias (enforced):** The user can only use his alias towrite a message 
 + 
 +It is recommended that areas where aliases are allowed, are made "Public Only". 
 + 
 +**Message Base** 
 + 
 +The type of message base to use for this message area.  Valid choices are Hudson, 
 +Squish, JAM, and Fido (*.MSG). 
 + 
 +Use the <SpaceBar> to toggle between available choices.  Remember, if you 
 +select Hudson that this message area's number (see top bar of the window) should 
 +be message area 200 or lower since Hudson only supports up to 200 message areas.
