When I'm reading through unread messages, none of the messages
originating from me are listed. I've gone through the config file with nothing obvious. Can someone shed some light on this?

Some BBSs offer an option whether to send your own messages to yourself
in QWK/Bluewave packets. Check in the offline packet configuration on
the BBS next time you login as a user.

Yeah the setting was there and it worked. I now see my posts.

Oh I did and the expected result came true. No one seems to agree.

Must do that at some stage. I used to be a heavy Gopher user when I
first started on the net, back in 1994. :)

I never knew what gopher was. I only saw references to it on browser settings. I always just surfed the web without knowledge of protocols.
I may have used it without knowing it. But anyway, I read about gopher about three years ago and soon discovered how easy it is to host and
post content.
I've got a pretty large wishlist of things I want to do.
Until a fwe months ago, someone had a massive news aggregator on a
gopher page that pulled RSS feeds from at least a hundred news sources
and updated every thirty minutes. The result was a fast, ad-free, cookie/tracker/analytics free reading experience. He took it down
without warning and made the source code available.
At some point I'm going to erect my own because I miss that source of information.

I was using Gopher before I used the web, it was the main way to access information in the old days, pre-WWW. In 1994, the WWW was still in
its early days and was just about to take off. One used a dedicated gopher client back then.
Now that's definitely worth exploring, at least until the content
creators wake up to what's going on and try to shore up their ad
revenue. :D
That I can understand. I should look at setting up a gopher server sometime. )

We still maintain a gopher server here for SciNet at
uucp.scinet-ftn.org
Currently it houses all of the stuff in the SciNet info pack but I have been toying with the idea of granting read only access (obviously) to
the message bases so people can read or search for things in the SciNet echos.

It would be unluikely they'd find out. RSS is a common method of distributing their content and almost no one uses gopher anymore.
Modern browsers dropped support for it years ago and it requires
specially written browsers to access it.

It's pretty straight forward. Once you read the guide on how to markup
the files off your gophermap, it's cake. Then you can get your server listed and added to the VeronicaII search engine.
A few other sites that are gopherized:
Wikipedia: gopher://gopherpedia.com
Rddit: gopher://gopherddit.com
Wikipedia is especially great you don't get that massive money donation nag banner.
