CompuServe Messages

Whenever you read messages, then leave the forum, your high message pointer is set to the last message you've read. The next time you enter the forum you see messages from that point on. I'm not familiar with how to get to older messages from the menu (I haven't used menu mode in about 10 years), I'm sure someone else will jump in with how to do that. In command mode, you can find any message — using yours as an example, by typing RS;F;BUCKLAND-SMITH;0 — which, translated to english means "read search all messages from Buckland-Smith starting with message number 0" — which is exactly what I did to find your original message.
