Did so just now. Sysop user can read it all. User1 can read messages to/from 
user1. User2 can read messages to/from user2. User2 can NOT read messages 
to/from User1, EXCEPT one message FROM user2 TO user1, and one message FROM 
user1 TO user2.  I think the message base settings were wrong in your 
experience.
