    Hi

    I just committed some changes to the way embedded tags work in ansi files.

    Previously, you would have something like @MAILAREA@ and it would display
    the mail area, and you couldn't have anything else on the line (or use
    screen positioning codes)

    Now it's to the length of the tag. SO, @MAILAREA@ will now be truncated
    (or padded to 8 characters) This is great if you have areas with the name
    of 8 characters or less, however if they are longer, you're going to want
    a longer tag.

    SO, to get a longer tag, pad the tag with #

    So, @MAILAREA####################@ will display a longer tag.

    Not all tags work this way, in particular, the @PAUSE@ and @NOPAUSE@ and @RUNSCRIPT@ work the old way.

    So, you're likely going to have to change your mail area and file area
    gfiles. Possibly others if you have tags elsewhere.

    Now, the reason for this: it is now possible to change your mail header,
    to something 5 lines long, with tags.

    The tags for the mail header are special, and don't match the tags for
    gfiles, and are currently undocumented. I'll get around to it at some
    point.

    Won't take long. :)

    Interesting!

    Apam, I updated and the new mail header looks great. Going to dive and in
    start customizing as well.

    Curious, will there be a new ans/asc header we need to create in gfiles?

    Yeah, but only an ans header, as it doesn't work in ascii mode.

    It only reads the top 5 lines, so anything below that wont be read. Also
    if you're using some ansi editor that doesn't put linefeeds if you go to
    full 80 characters wide, there may be some issues - I'm not sure.

    the file is fsr_header.ans

    The tags are:

    MSGAREA - The Message Area
    MSGSUBJ - The Message Subject
    MSGFROM - Who wrote the message
    MSGTO - Who the message is to
    FROMBBS - What BBS it is from (according to the nodelist)
    FROMADDR - The address of the bbs it is from
    MSGDATE - the date
    MSGN - the message number
    TOTN - total messagesin area

    Scratch that.

    I just did an update, there are now 2 fsr_header_echo.ans and fsr_header_local.ans for echomail areas and local areas respectively

    Cool, I saw what you did on HappyLand and now I'm inspired :)

    Just curious -- what would you think about adding MSGCONF as well? I
    often find myself wondering what conf I'm in, LOL. If not -- no worries!

    I KNEW someone would ask for message conference!! :)

    I haven't done it yet as currently areas don't know what conferences they
    are in, only conferences know what areas are in them, so it's a little difficult. I would like to do it though.

    Ha, leave it to me to ask :)

    Just added my first pass at a custom header on TDG...
    Any way to get rid of the divider line? No worries if not, but could
    really use that row to make the design work better :)
