Dunno if you got a reply to this while my mail hub was down...
The only way I know of to reset the LRP is for the user to
login, go to the message area in question, and type in the message
number they wanted to read.
For example, they type 45 to read message 45.
Then they leave that area. Their pointer is then set to 45
as far as the user and the Max OLR are concerned. I think
the Bluewave mail door can understand the pointer as well,
but of course, it's much easier to reset pointers from within
the BW door so long as the user has BW.
This kinda hard way to reset pointers is one of the things I would
like to see changed for Max 4.0. If you're reading this Scott,
please make it something we can use from the sysop menu or some sort
of special message system sub-menu.
