What is the exact message it displays? I don't see anything like
"include unread messages".

Sorry my mistake line 945 of text.dat
"Display Unread Messages Only" 766
DisplayUnreadMessagesOnlyQ

....no control codes but it still gets preceded by the 1/4 symbol in mode 7

I don't have the expertise to set it up so that different ports get different
terminal settings...so I'm going to have instructions on the answer page to
explain for beeb users the terminal settings they need to choose.
