I totally get this. I am currently trying to restart my system, and as

BBS package that I wrote to get them up to date with current release of
the software.

I would love to check it out, when it's ready. Let me know when it's done or ifyou need someone to test things out. I'll stop in and give it a go.
Take care!

Tjhanks. Right now, I'm putting my qwk networking mod (started in

ships with Synchronet.

Is there by chance a way to disable putting all of your message headers in the actual message body?

Just so you know... I've quoted your entire message above. Every
message you post includes all that "header" garbage in it, at the
beginning of each message, which should not be happening.

There are other menu systems available for Synchronet 2.x that'll work
with a little bit of tweaking. I took the Renegade-like menus, added
some color to them, and added an ansi header. You don't have to go too
far down to see stock Synchronet, though.

I see a lot of ANSIs out there, would love to see some menu mods that
change how the BBSes function.

yes, if i don't use NNTP to read and post. That's all. I will bring

That's odd. I figured maybe it would be an improper toggle in Thunderbird, or something. Not sure why Wildcat would use somewhat normal headers /and/ force them to the message body, too. *shrug*

I think its because wcqwk.exe doesnt know if something has been posted
by nntp or not. I brought this up in the winserver mailing list. Now

I think bbs's mean different things to different people.
Some people like them for the games.
Some people like myself like them for message bases.
Others like them because of a small user base.

Since he seems to be directing some of this towards me: I have 3 total "scrollers", a prelogin before the matrix, a welcome (randomized) during the login process, and a goodbye when leaving, so he is definitely exaggerating quite a bit here. I've had way more people praise the artwork, and complain that it flies by way too fast that they have to scroll back to see it, than say anything negative about it. By all means, don't like it? Don't call. Easy enough.

I notice that, too - in all fairness, the stock, single-menu Synchronet layout is
pretty dang handy and a lot simpler to deal with. I liked the older
modal menus from my youth, so I went with those. It took a little
tweaking to make sure I had all of the menu actions reflected in the
menu ansis, seems they were made for version 2 and some commands had
been changed/added.
