Would it not? > Actually, if a FLAG were added, it wouldn't take up much more disk space. It would be moderately difficult to track which users had read it and which hadn't, which is why there are boards. However, it COULD be implemented, without having to create a separate copy for each user. (I run a BBS, and the software I use has a multi-mail capability, which keeps ONE copy of the message, and a list of the users to receive the message. When a user deletes the message, their user ID is removed from the list) -- mshapiro@explorer.csc.com God doesn't believe in Atheists - Matthew 12:30 GCS p c++++ l+ u+ e+ m+ s n- h f+ !g w+++ t-- r y?
