   Hello Nicola!   
      
   On 24 Jul 2022, Nicola Mettimano said the following...   
       
    NM> Hello, i need help in sorting messanges inside an base; now i see from   
    NM> oldest to newest, so when i want to see/read news i have to scroll   
    NM> through dozens of pages...   
      
   Pressing End should take you to the bottom. However, the "usual" way to read   
   all new messages of interest would be to select the message bases to scan with   
   (Z) in the message menu and then e.g. use (N) (A) to scan all new messages in   
   all groups.   
      
   Also, it is good to know that as soon as you read a message in a message base,   
   your last read pointer for that message base is updated so that it appears as   
   if you have read *all* messages up to and including that message. So after   
   reading a message, you will only see messages newer than that one in any   
   subsequent (N) (A) scans.   
      
   This is also the reason why the personal new mail scans etc. have the /NOLR   
   flag in their Data fields -- to stop any reading of personal messages from   
   "destroying" the last read pointers, which would otherwise "hide" all other   
   new messages that precede those personal messages.   
      
   Best regards
