  • msg_your_scan question

    From Dumas Walker@VERT/CAPCITY2 to DIGITAL MAN on Thu Oct 30 10:14:25 2025
    Is there a reason that messages downloaded via QWK (by a user and not a QWK node) are not marked received/read so that they don't later show up in a msg_your_scan request?

    I have recently been trying to read messages on the BBS more, instead of by QWK, and the msg_your_scan is spitting out messages that are often several years old and long since read (hopefully!). OTOH, the msg_new_scan seems to honor the last read pointers and doesn't show these old messages addressed to me.
