Folks,

We are exploring a new feature to display the "recent messages". Log into
the BBS and see it for yourself in the message client. Right now, it
displays the recent messages 7 days old in all conferences.

I have a beta version for you to try out at:

http://www.winserver.com/dev (Developer's Corner)

Click the BETA Applications option to download and setup information.

I think this has lots of potential and I want your comments and feature
list here, like USER OPTIONS.

Here is the options I am thinking:

- Scan only Selected Message Areas
- Display user defined X last days
- Follow your Last Read position (see comment below)
- Show Entire Topic Messages in window ?????
- Other ideas?

After studying this more, I think we already have the technology that will
work really nice with this Recent Messages. If you think about it, and
the QWK people will feel this, this is basically a SCAN of your messages
that in the past we use to DOWNLOAD as a QWK.

QWK already gave users "Conference Options"

- Scan All
- Scan Personal only
- Scan Personal and mail to ALL
- Scan all using Last Read pointer

You can see this via Telnet in "Your Setting | Offline Mail Options"

What do you think?
