   Hi Vincent,   
   sorry for the very delayd reply. So here's what user "test" (who is a   
   non-sysop user) sees when he is querying the local, private echo:   
      
   #     From                 To                   Subject                           
      
   1     amiganer             niels haedecke       Hi                                
      
   2     lodger               amiganer             Re: Hi                            
      
      
   So as you can see, the user I'm logged in (test) can see that there are   
   private messages between amiganer and lodger. He can even see the subject of   
   any private message. This should not be possible. When querying the local,   
   private echo, user "test" should not see any messages listed he is neither   
   sender nor recipient of.   
      
   However, when user "test" is then trying to read one of the two messages he   
   was shown, he gets:   
      
   "This is a private message; only the owner and addressee can view it."   
      
   So is this the expected behaviour and could this be fixed so you can't "spy"   
   on other conversation topics and participants by running the Quickscan   
   command.   
      
   Kind regards,   
   Niels
