   Isn't that what the .jlr files in the JAM message base are for? They contain   
   the last read "pointers" for each user, and they are updated everytime fmail   
   updates the jam area files, as far as I remember...?

   Currently I and the single other test node, only use FMail with Binkly Style   
   Outbound (BSO), and Golded as editor. And no bbs. So it could use some testing   
   in other environments...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
