    Mike, One thing I noticed tonight; To selecta message to read if I tap on the name of the writer of a post nothing happens.
    Tapping the Subject name is what is needed to read the post.
    no big deal with me.
    I been figuring out how to use BBS's since I called the first BBS way back in 1984 on the Commodore 64 with a 300 baud modem.

    Looks like this was not the only area that your "seeds" escaped to the wild.
    You should be getting some pretty interesting responses..

    hpt apparently ignores the "deleted" bit in JAM message bases. The workaround is to also turn the "entered locally" bit off when deleting a message. That stops hpt from picking it up.
