  • Move by thread

    From JF@21:1/139 to Al on Tue Feb 9 06:09:28 2021
    Those keys are for moving back and forth in a thread. You can see if
    there are linked messages with the "refer to" and "see also" on the

    Well would you look at that! I never noticed those 2 fields before. Well, I think I've figured out what the problem was. If those fields have something
    in them (not zero), then the [ and ] keys do work. But more often than not, these fields just have 0 in them. Why would that be? You'd think all messages with a "RE: same subject" would be linked together?

    correct, you need linked messages for Mystic to see them and then jump to them using those keys

    Yep, that's what I'm realizing... The question now is: why are some messages linked properly and others not? Maybe it's how people reply to messages, or
    how their board is configured?

    Yep, you need to use LinkMessages with mutil. I run that after every toss.

    I rarely use threads. I do a new scan and just keep making my way through the messages and rarely ever go back.

    Message linking relies on the MSGID and REPLY kludge in the mail (I quoted the kludges from your mail). Some older software do not add a MSGID and/or REPLY kludge. It often happens with QWK offline readers. No idea if it is a problem with the reader or the BBS (QWK is weird).

    Oohoo, I don't believe this is something I have configured. I'll have look!

    Thanks Oli, I'll have a closer look at those headers!
