 DM> In Synchronet, there are 2 types of message scans:

 DM> (N)ew message scan (the 'N' command from the main menu of the classic
 DM> shell) (S)can for msgs to you (the 'S' command from the main menu)

 DM> The (N) scan uses "new msg pointers" to find an display new messages while
 DM> the (S) scan checks the 'read flag' on messages address to *you*
 DM> (regardless of any "new-scan" pointer value).

 DM> The &N command can be used to change each sub-boards "new-scan" config to
 DM> one of 3 possible values: off, new msgs, new msgs to you only. These
 DM> settings correspond to these values (for each user for each sub-board):

 DM> Off: bits 0, 2, and 8 off
 DM> New-msgs: Bits 0 and 2 (SCAN_CFG_NEW))
 DM> New-msgs-to-you-only: Bits 0, 2, and 8 (SCAN_CFG_NEW|SCFG_CFG_YONLY)

 DM> The &S command can be used to change each sub-boards "your-scan" config to
 DM> one of 2 possible values: off and on. These settings correspond to these
 DM> values (for each user for each sub-board):

 DM> Off: (Bit 1 off)
 DM> On: (Bit 1 on, SCAN_CFG_TOYOU)

I see - This is helpful, thanks.
