Message-ID: Date: 25 Sep 90 19:13:11 GMT References: Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 18 "update" only behaves that way the first time you ever read a folder -- after the first time, it should do exactly what you said you want. The different first-time behavior is intended to avoid obnoxiousness on large bboards you've just started reading. You can always look at old stuff using the "headers" command. It sounds like there is indeed a bug in naming the .CKP files for short-file-name systems. I'm not sure what you mean by "stopping meessages from reading mail automatically" when first executed, but not other times -- you'll need to explain what you want more clearly, I think. I think all the documentation you need is in the help files -- what kinds of flags were you interested in? Finally, I don't think we ever implemented the "urgent" feature in the Messages user interface, only in CUI. -- Nathaniel
