JAM is software; the problem was also with messages entered on the BBS, so it 
couldn't have been the tosser.

And messages were private under RA when using other message bases.

But it should be easy to test - if you are using JAM for netmail, try it out 
and see. Add a couple of users as aliases of yourself, wihtout sysop security, 
and enter a few private messages, and then see if they can read each other's 
messages.
