I see that prompt even if all my mail is read, and it defaults to "No", so I have to say "Yes" if I get a telegram indicating I received new mail, and "No" if I did not get the telegram.

Basically that prompt becomes "Did I just tell you there's new mail?"... hence "parrot back to the BBS".

Then, when I do say yes, I'm given a list of all non-deleted mail, and I have to manually pick the first unread one to start reading my unread mail.

Having a prompt that is effectively "You have new mail, do you want to read it?" which defaults to "Yes", then takes me to reading the first unread mail is basically the request.
