   How does message pointers work with synchronet bbs? My understanding is there   
   is a read pointer and new pointer.  But how do the move when a user logins in   
   an reads messages, and then returns?   
      
   Can a user of synchronet bbs login more than one time, and the pointers keep   
   in sync; or if messages are read during a ftelnet session and a synchronet   
   telnet sessions; could the pointers get skewed/confused due to multiple access   
   under the same account ?    
      
   I've noticed times, when I read messages and I come back a day or two later,   
   and the pointer has fallen back to messages I have read.   
      
   Do DDMSGReader and Native Msg reader work similarly ? I assume they are using   
   the same pointers, to manage where a user has read to, correct ?
