I can't explain why you have problems with mthreads, nor why
you can't get mail to the author, as I've neither of these
problems, but let me explain the crosspost thing.  When you 
exit a thread menu and everything is considered read, it does
so using the catchup code, which is MUCH faster than calculating
xrefs.  That's why you think that crossposting isn't working.
It got me, too, but Wayne Davison explained it to me.
