Actually the private chat and sysop chat use the same base code and suffered
the same bug in v3.13a. This has already been fixed for the next release.

Each user has the option of automatic new message scan or not. If you want to
prompt instead, you could modify your exec/logon.js.

Not if you and your users are happy with it.
