Hello Kim,   
      
   >> How about also in the HTML message area interface there being some

   Ok... My bad. New unread messages to the user currently logged in. Currently   
   the message area list might look like:   
      
   Unread  Conference             Description   
      
   2       fido.AFTERSHOCK         AFTERSHOCK Discussion   
   259     fido.AMATEUR_RADIO      AMATEUR RADIO / HAM RADIO   
   1       fido.BBBS.ENGLISH       The International BBBS Support Echo   
   246     fido.COFFEE_KLATSCH     Gossip and chit-chat echo   
      
   I was thinking of maybe something that looked like:   
      
   Unread  Conference              Description   
      
   2       fido.AFTERSHOCK         AFTERSHOCK Discussion   
   259(2)  fido.AMATEUR_RADIO      AMATEUR RADIO / HAM RADIO   
   1       fido.BBBS.ENGLISH       The International BBBS Support Echo   
   246(3)  fido.COFFEE_KLATSCH     Gossip and chit-chat echo   
      
   The "(2)" and "(3)" in the second example above would indicate that there were   
   that many unread messages addressed to the current logged in user in those   
   respective areas.
