  • Message Headers

    From Hustler@VERT/HAVENS to All on Mon Apr 15 12:40:44 2019
    What is the process of editing/creating the message header in Synchronet? I'm only concered with the headers in the Message Bases. Is there a "msgheader" file I can edit? or is it written in the default.src?? Thanks.

    If you're using the stock Synchronet message reader, you can edit your sbbs/text/menu/MSGHDR.ASC to customize the message header that is displayed.

    Yea? I don't see a "MSGHDR.ASC" file. There is a MSGATTR.ASC and MSGATTR.ANS. But after further investigation if I am using the DDMessageReader then I would need to edit the headers used by DDMessageReader. Is that right?

    Then, create one. ;)

    Yes, if you're using that reader, then you can create a enhMsgReader.ans (or .asc) in the same directory as DDMsgReader.js. You can refer to the readme for more details.

    Yes sir. I've got it now. I feel like I am on a "search and destroy" mission looking through all these directories and files. ;-)
