    To Clarify a bit. It's the Y/N prompt for reading personal/netmail/email
    mail. Whichever you want to call it. I've got 2 messages on his board I haven't been able to read for a month at least. It doesn't matter if it's during the login sequence or if you go to the message menu to scan for mail. It will show you the messages, but Yes to read them will take you either to
    the main menu if it's during the login sequence or to the Message Menu if you activated it from the message menu.

    Echomail reading and writing works just fine.

    Yup, I've had that happen more than once during alpha testing. Generally it resolves itself over time (alphas get better and fix it). As I recall there
    are two search commands in Messages C and G, try them both. Otherwise look at the part of the header it shows for a message number and the message base and go look for it. The message will be there.
    Are you running A38?
