Hi All,

When BBS users first log in, as per omost Mystic boards, it asks them if they
want to read their own messages. I have noticed that:

a) the message group and area are always remembered from your last session.
So if you were in FSX: BBS the last time, you'll automatically log in with
that as your current group/area. I can't see any configuration way to
override this.

b) If you want to read your own messages, or post a message to the sysop, you
must be in a Local message area (makes sense), however, unless you go to the
messages menu and change to the local area, you can't read your emails on
login or any other time.

Anyone know how to force setting to the local message group every time you
log in, or make reading/replying to own mail on login work without having to
manually set your base first?

Cheers,
