Would this have anything to do with the fact that sometime recently (within
the past month or two, probably), after scanning for new messages and files,
it used to display things like:
Someone sent you EchoMail on Fidonet TUXPOWER
Someone sent you EchoMail on Fidonet TUXPOWER
Another sent you Netmail ...

.. and now it doesn't pause after these are displayed? Now instead, they flash
by on the screen, and then the main menu is displayed.
I understand that a pause can be added wherever you want, but I figured I'd
mention it as there may be some other occurrences where this is happening when
it didn't previously.
Regards,
Nick
