I actually found a quick "hack" to be able to view everything in a private message base -- copy it (or create a new message base), specify the same Path and File Name, and set Private: No.

Of course one shouldn't forget to protect it adequately (e.g. set the ACSes to something like s255g1) and adjust the New Scan and QWK Scan to suitable values (I set them to No as I do not intend to read "new" messages there).

I also set Pvt Reply: Yes, even though I'm not intending to post messages through it (I would use the "real" message base for that).

Best regards
Bj”rn
