It seems any line written inside of angled-brackets will not show up. That is, a line of text starting with "<" and ending with ">" will not appear w/in a message.

Looks like it doesn't matter where the "<" and ">" appear whatever's in between is omitted from view. - but I can see the text when I edit the message.

Some BBS software supports 'private' messages - viewable by the sender and recipient and not by anyone else. Does this software have that feature John?

Secret Message follows:
