    Hi Apam,

    Having a look at Talisman, on my v1 Pie, and geez it took a long time to compile. #-)

    Question about message reading.

    How do I do a new mail read for the current area and not the whole
    conferance (Fsxnet)?

    Are you planing to enable cursor movement for selecting area's?

    Thanks,
    \/orlon

    Yeah I bet. Using C++17 instead of plain C will do that :P

    Just list the messages and press 'L' I think for last read and it will
    jump down to unread messages.

    Possibly, right now there are more pressing matters to attend to, like
    why postie's not working for alpha and tiny.. but yeah, scrolling list selections sound nice, and I could enable them if the full screen
    reader is enabled.

    A piece of software I work on professionally is C++17 and heavily makes use of it's modern features. We compile on Threadrippers @ 16x2 cores with 64GB RAM -- and you have to chop out the # of cores else the compiler will OOM every time :D

    In my case it worked perfectly for a few weeks then just stopped. I've
    tripple checked the config files and as I said it does see the packet and
    logs the fact it's seen messages but doens't do anything with them.

    Outbound does in fact work again though.

    Got it, is there any chance you can add a menu option like Magicka to not require as many steps.

    Also how do I change the displayed message headers? I'm wanting to remove
    some of the extra fields that take up extra space. (ie: area description
    etc..)
