    Very nice addition since I've logged here last time.
    Good job. Looks almost as good as the indexed mail reader in Mystic.

    I just miss browsing through the messages in a group in similar list as next nested level and... shortcut to post to a group directly from the indexed reader somehow.

    But it's really great addition, vanilla synchronet mail control is still in the 90s if not tweaked properly.

    Credits for the code (DDMsgReader) goes to Nightfox, however, I played a big part (and probably annoyed both g00r00 and Nightfox in the process) in the original feature requests of a "Golded" like way of reading messages for both Mystic and Synchronet. Then spent as much time as I could with helping in bug testing.

    Are you saying you're looking for a message lister? If so, when you're in the indexed reader, hit 'L'. If that's not what you were saying, I misunderstood you.

    Posting directly to an area, I think you have to at least enter the area first. Then 'P' should post a new message.

    I agree completely!

    Nick

    No worries. I sometimes don't know either if I use proper terminology/vocabulary, even tho I'm consuming BBS scene for 5+ years already. I sometimes try to make up something English that resonates with what I see on the screen.

    But I'm back and continually experimenting.
