Try using the ;msgs command to scroll through your last 10 telegrams. If you see the missing email notification in the telegram history, that means the BBS thinks it showed it to you (e.g. during logon). You can also watch the data/msgs/0001.msg file (for user #1) and pay attention to when it changes or disappears. Normally, this happens in coincidence with the messages being displayed to the user (user #1 in this case).
