Hi g00r00

Just something on my wishlist I'd like to jot down for your consideration.

I have a number of read BBS emails in my inbox on Agency spanning 2 years. There are about 50 of them. They are messages I have not deleted because the contain info I want to hold on to. At present my only option to retain them
is to either export each to text file or leave undeleted in the email inbox

It just means when I go to read new messages I wait for 2-3 seconds each time to watch it load all the past read messages etc.

What I would love would be a way to move BBS emails I want to retain to an archive folder (or similar) so my inbox is only my inbox and the read stuff I want to keep and review from time to time is elsewhere.

Do you think that would be possible?

Best, Paul

It's it possible now? I mean save them with the X, move them to a subdirectory and use GD or GA to read them with sysop access. I do that now. If you want
it more automated save them as .txt or .ans to the mystic root and have a
task move them to the subdirectory daily or something like that. I have bbsads, notes, and some in docs now. The easy way is to treat them as ANSI Galleries for reading. Just put proper ACS in place so they're for your use only.

I do it now using GoldEd :) anything to anything (JAM, .Msg, etc.)

All good but... I'm not using GoldEd though, so hoping I can achieve the above without doing so :)

I do it. There is a /mystic/hidden directory with such 'hidden' things ;)

OK thanks, and to do this you are exporting and saving each email you want to keep as a text file in such a directory?

Yes. Nothing special, just decided to call it hidden and put such stuff there with sysop only access. You can save ANSI as well as text which is why I
view it with GA command (and you can add without editing).

Yup, it works fine. It can be made easier depending on scripting and other things. Works best with the PI & Nodespy, then going through the emails I
saved weekly and moving them over from mystic root to 'hidden' or 'notes'. I really keep two: hidden & notes. Hidden for sysop only and notes for anyone
to read. The hidden has information you don't want everyone reading like
real names and passwords and such. Notes would have things like AreaFix commands and information on things like XQ-DAWALL and such. I guess in the
long run I might want to split it up a bit more by area like 'Mystic notes', 'BBS notes', FSXNet notes and so on. Haven't done that yet. I might also want to split it up by subject even more than just area, it's still evolving.

I know that I'm prolly late to the party with this suggestion, but why don't you just create a new message base with sysop-only access. Then move ally our 'keeper' messages over to it?

Seriously.. is nobody familiar with the 'M'ove command in the mystic message reader?

It's just that the move option does not work for an email base, well it does not for me with s255 access and reading emails sent to me. The help screen suggests it should but it's also the same help screen that comes up for echomail bases :)

Yes, it's for the message owner only. It doesn't work for sysops on other people's messages. Check that ? and you'll see that. On the other hand, using
X to save a message will work with any message and then with a sysop only message area you could import it with U to upload, so that method can work
that way. Would still need to delete the X saved message afterward (I just
move mine with 'mv' since I use Linux).

Hello all. Something weird is happening on my system with A34 . When I run MUTIL it keeps saying "Waiting for busy nodes" even though I do a FIDOPOLL KILLBUSY. Any ideas what may be wrong? Thanks.
