Greg, as of yesterday I have removed all bulletins as the system
crashes when any new user logs on and those files are displayed.
One thing has happened since the probelm showed up.  Well two
actually.  The first is I started using drivespace on my e drive.
That lowered my memory left over to 168,984.  The other is that I
started running 8.04d then e.  It could be the lower memory, but the
files/bulletins are really very small.  Got any ideas?

does it ever issue an error message in the error.bbs files...or does
the system just lock up?

Greg, this is something that Bobby Forgione has been asking about for
some time, and I would like to second his motion.
RyBBS always had the ability (and still does) to search email and other mail, 
ie. all areas, for new personal messages. You gave us the handy startup.bbs 
option, QUERY MAIL, but there's a problem with using QUERY MAIL as it works 
now.
This gives the users the ability to skip checking the email areas in addition 
to the other mail areas. Using QUERY MAIL results in it being very hard to 
contact users via email. My request, like Bobby's, is to enable in some way 
that users have to scan the email base for new messages even if QUERY MAIL is 
on.
I have had to resort to a special menu with a special security code to 
contact a few users.
Thanks,
Bill
