I tried once reading BBS messages in a newsgroup link but wasn't satisfied doing it that way. Many years ago I thought to use TB's "Compact" option, thinking it would reduce TB using some HDD Space, after Compacting finished TB's In-Box didn't have any messages in it. I think I had over 1000 messages in the In-Box before I Compacted TB but I never have been able to learn how I could had recovered those messages back when they disappeared. I had made some Sub-Directories below the In-Box Directory for storing messages by Topic and the Compacting process didn't mess with the messages I had put in those Sub-Directories.
