umm, they are in the command line in the BW config for the printer...

true but some of them may only be operational during startup and thus not
available from within the editor...

where are they when

i dunno... i saw it when i played with BW a while back but i wasn't setting
it up for any real use and definitely no replying with the packet i was
reading... i do have multimail set up, though and have used that a time or
two... unfortunately, i think the mail door i use is not compatible with
this beta version of my bbs software... sadly, i've not had the time to
write a small intermediate conversion tool that would convert the dropfile
to an older format that OLMS does recognise... i'm not really sure that
that is where the problem is, either... i just noticed that it seemed to
skip messages but with me using the JAM message base format, those lastread
pointers are contained with each JAM base file set and not within the bbs
configs or datafiles... i may have to contact the author and see if he may
have a clue...
