    This sounds interesting and if it works the way I think it works, I'm assuming that it could be used in conjunction with "File -> Options -> Filters" to set up *local* message areas. Would my assumption be correct? ;)

    You are aware that you can (since decades) create "internal" Areas and drag/drop messages (use Ctrl Modifier for copy) ?

    This new feature in particular enables the user to just delete a dead uplink while keeping the messages. Before, WP essentially enforeced the deletion of the linked areas.

    Yes, I was aware of that thanks but it got me wondering what the purpose
    of this new feature was.

    Ah, so that's the difference.
