   It sounds to me like you may want:   
      
   Command: MN (Message New Scan)   
      Data: /P /G /NOFROM /NOLR /NOREAD   
      
   This will do a newscan of personal messages (/P) in all groups (/G) so only   
   messages from or to YOU.  But then it will exclude messages FROM you   
   (/NOFROM), exclude messages you've already read once before (/NOREAD), and   
   then it will not update your last read pointers afterwards (/NOLR).

    BW> Name        ³ Private Messages (PMs)    
    BW> List ACS    ³ g1   
    BW> Read ACS    ³   
    BW> Post ACS    ³ !fa   
    BW> Sysop ACS   ³ s255g1   
      
   I think it looks pretty good now but you'd probably want to remove the "g1"   
   from SysOp ACS because it means you'll only be able to edit, delete (etc)   
   e-mails if you are in group 1 (which I am guessing you don't want considering   
   you can read from any group).   
      
   You're on the right track now though.  Private Messages will show up as a   
   message base when users are in group 1 and do an area list.  Users who do not   
   have flag A cannot send e-mail at all.  Anyone can read at all times which   
   means MC menu command will work in any situation.   
      
   ... Just another prisoner of gravity!
