The message number (MSG#) is listed, followed by the STATUS of the message.
This status includes the message type (B=Bulletin, T=NTS traffic, and
P=Personal message). The second character in the ST column is the current status
of the message.
A Bulletin status (type B) can be:
F — it has already been forwarded to another full-service BBS
H — it is being held for review by the SYSOP because it was entered into the
PBBS over the radio.
An NTS traffic message (type T) may have a status of:
H — indicating that it is being held for review by the SYSOP before it may
be forwarded.
The Private message (type P) can have the following status characters in the sec-
ond position:
H — This is a personal message that has an @BBS field but is being held for
review by the SYSOP before it may be forwarded.
N — This message is a Personal message that has not been forwarded and
has not been read by the station it is addressed to. If it is forwarded to a
full-service BBS, it will be deleted if PBKILLFW is ON.
Y — This message has been read by the station it is addressed to, but has not
been killed. It will not be forwarded even if it has an @BBS since it has al
-
ready been read.
