Mike,

I've been reading a .QWK packet that I kept, it has the MN_COMPUTE sub
where there ware a lot of old messages in it.

I've been reading it a little section at a time to get through the 400+ messages in that sub.

Recently I've been marking down on a scrap piece of paper what message
number that I stopped reading at instead of trying to "remember it".

When I open the .QWK at another time, the sub is Highlighted (of course)
since it was the last message area read in the packet.

When I press I O Enter to Index and Sort the messages by
number I've noticed another strange thing (Oh No Not Again!!!!!). ;-)

In the far Left the Asterick "*" mark for messages already read
increases the mark on the next 9 messages as already being read, 9 above
the number on my scrap paper.

Just another curiousity that I've noticed in the packet I receive from
CCO and read in SLMR.

Nothing for You to worry about, I just thought I'd tell You what I've
noticed just recently while reading messages in that 400+ message sub.

Thanks for All the help that You have provided me.

I think there is something that SBBS does that simply is not compatable with SLMR. I have had numerous odd things happen while trying to read packets with SLMR. The packets from the GT BBS are just fine, but the SBBS (web) ones are all messed up. I have to use MM to read them.

Just FYI, I think those 400+ messages include many dupes! One of the other boards burped some dupes out onto Micronet about a week or so ago!

Mike,

I know that the bulk of the messages are dupes, but I hadn't joined the
sub back then so they are new to me. ;-)

I'm finding a lot of Taglines in those messages that I hadn't seen B4.

Just playing around today I opened the packet from 02-16-11 that has the
dupes in it and pressed ESC to get to the SLMR message directory listing
and reopened the 02-16-11 packet.

Both times I opened the packet 9 additional * marks were added to the
Read list.

Computers are wonderful things, ain't they?

When they work.
