subject: HELP! `read` messages still showing up!

 JA> Hello All!
 JA> I have been remotely accessing my BBS of late and have 
 JA> noticed that messages I've already seen keep showing up 
a)      You have a pointer glitch.
b)      You have read personal mail first, but not cleared the pointers in 
the message base, meaning that when you do a general scan, those messages pop 
up as "new" since the pointer is where the last message in the stack was read 
- not including personal mail ahead of the pointer.
Me, I'd gun for (A) mesself.
 JA> I've been having problems ever since I switched this

 JA> gui mode. :(
With that, and my personal bias, probably a pointer glitch caused by poor 
task-switching.
