    Hi, I just noticed some odd behavior with DDMsgReader. I usually read my messages via QWK, and just logged in locally to check messages. My
    message pointers when reading messages with DDMsgReader were set to #1
    in all areas.

    I tried using the menu option to reset menu pointers, then reset them to
    today at 00:00, I still get #1 as the new message pointer in all areas
    when using DDMsgReader, but get the normal high message pointers when
    using the defaults.

    why do you even use it? isnt the default reader rebust and more than adequate? I can't stand it when i call a bbs and they have it. I wish there was a way to toggle it off as a user.

    I'll have a look and see if I can reproduce this.
