 It`s de default message menu. The language is in Spanish, that could be
the problem but I if telnet to my BBS with Hyperterminal instead of mtelnet
I can read everything perfectly.

 You can see it on my BBS telnet://pucela.thebbs.org The menus are in
Spanish but I think it won't so difficult to see the problem (the messages
menu is "Mensajes" and the Read option y "Leer
mensajes").

 Ok, I have just sent him an email.
