    Ok, one of the features I half-link about MBSE is the fact that it autocreates message areas based on .NA files. But, that's just it. The areas it creates MUST be in the .NA file in order for them to be autocreated. I know Mystic as well as BBBS autocreate areas based on the echo tag found in the header of each message as well. I was wondering if this ability could be included in a future version of MBSE? Would be nice if MBSE autocreated file echos as well based
    on the ECHO tag in TIC files -- like Mystic does :)

    I agree that those features would be useful. I'll look into it when i get minute.

    Awesome! :)

    i don't know when this method started but synchronet was our first exposure to it... on the one hand it makes sense but on the other? nah...

    I know Mystic as well as BBBS autocreate areas based on the echo
    tag found in the header of each message as well.

    mystic took both methods from requests and those requests were based on the users of other software asking for them...

    auto message area creation originated with the likes of gecho, fastecho and others of that vintage...

    auto file area creation originated with allfix...

    Yeah, but sometimes these newer BBS software developers need a little nudge to go in the same useful direction with their own software :)

    agreed... however, mbse has been around for quite a while... perhaps part of the ""problem"" is that other systems don't want to follow the rest of the crowd and end up just like all the others? ;)
