(S)can Messages
---------------

Subcommands: (A) Reads new messages in all of your selected conferences
(S) Reads all messages since your last read
(#) A valid message number to read, with a (+) or (-) optional
(+) Reads messages forward from current message
(-) Reads messages backward from current message
(F) Selects "only messages from you" mode
(Y) Selects "only messages to you" mode
(YA) Selects "only messages to you and ALL" mode
(T) Selects "text search" mode

&, (), and & symbols are allowed in the search string
for AND/OR searches, for example:

(UTIL | AID) & DISK
GOOD & GAME
(EGA | VGA) & (DEMO | 486)

Only items which match the full AND/OR template will be
displayed.

(U) Selects "only messages to/from other user" mode
(N) Returns to normal mode (cancels all modes)
(J) Join a conference (same as on main menu)
(RE) Reset last read message pointers (same as on main menu)
(I) Switches between message read and message scan

Description: Allows scanning the headers of all messages. All
public messages will be displayed, along with private
messages left either by you or for you, and password
protected messages. Scanning does not update your last
read message pointers, and can be used as a way to
"look ahead" into your unread messages. SysOps will see
a 'K' after the number of any killed messages.
