I'm trying to use the BBS interface for all netmail on my one BBS, and it's proving a bit irritating.

Basically, it seems the options are to always ask if I want to be dumped at the mail prompt or not be able to do netmail at login, which means I need to parrot back to the BBS if there's new mail and also look at the list of all mail and pick the oldest unread one myself.

It would be nice to have an option to read new (or unread if there's no pointer for mail) netmail at login in place of the "Read your mail now?" that works like the "Search all groups for new messages?" prompt.
