No, I tried the version that came the last time I pulled Synchronet for a
compile... probably from the Spring or early Summer.

Yes!

Reason I was trying to add args was because it always seemed to "act" the
same way regardless of which command was being executed in Synchronet, i.e.
the "check for new mail" and "check for *my* new mail" options both
resulted in a "check for new mail" (to anyone) search.  I tried a command line
arg to try to get it to search for only "my new mail" but it ignored it, as
you pointed out.

Something else it did with the new mail scan... it started in the last msg
area I was in rather than checking all areas.  So, if I happened to change
to the very last group/area on the BBS, it would only search that one.  I
had to be sitting in Group 1, Area 1 before it would search them all.

Maybe that is all because it is ~9 month old code, though.
