Ok I found what was the problem :) Its because I didnt set the
conferences flag for each conference for the ~FIDO~ user in the users
records. Strange setting about pcboard because if we set conferences as
fido and echoed why pcb need teses flags to scan conferences ?

Maybe its because if we have more than 1 fido user, one different for
different network maybe pcboard need to know wich conference to scan
depends on the fido user ?

But I wonder, if we write a message to a specific person into a
conference, lets take the name John Doe

if two different person each registed on 2 different bbs but have the
same name John Doe that mean both will be noticed in that conference
they have 1 message for them ?

It is possible to write a public message that will be echoed to all
nodes if we specify the node with the name ? Example: John Die{at}1:1:/100
all users on any bbs will se that message but only John Doe on 1:1/100
node will be noticed it have mail waitting when joining that conference
?

Instead of netmail that are all private in that case only the specific
node will receive the echoed message

But I wonder why pcboard allow me to enter a message to ALL even if I
force all message to be private ?

But because I force all message to be private, pcboard ask me to enter
route to (   ) that is the node number I must enter to route the message
to ? what its the difference between write the node number here and put
it with the name like John Doe{at}1:1/100 ? Or even put it on the 1st line
of the body before write the message ?

I wonder how the hub is operate the msg files on theses different way to
enter a message ?

Thanks :)
