That's cool. I don't remember if I was aware of the RESULT.ED file. I've seen that some editors are able to let users change the subject within the editor; for SlyEdit, I chose to have it read a drop file provided by the BBS that has the sub-board name, but didn't allow for changing the subject. I suppose I could have SlyEdit write a RESULT.ED file with a new subject if the user wants to change the subject?

Exactly. Currently you're using MSGINF which is BBS-to-editor drop file only. With EDITOR.INF/RESULT.ED, the BBS-to-editor file is EDITOR.INF and RESULT.ED is the editor-to-BBS file.

You could support both in your editor and even auto-detect which the sysop has configured if you're clever. :-)

That's an idea.. I posted a question to you in another message though - I chose MSGINF because it has information about the sub-board (such as the sub-board name), which is displayed in SlyEdit. I was curious if another external editor dropfile option could be created to support MSGINF with the ability to change the subject in the editor - supporting both MSGINF and RESULT.ED, perhaps?

Perhaps. Another possibliity might be to supply the sub-board name in the EDITOR.INF file (rather than or in addition-to the "to" name). I noticed just recently that WWIV puts the sub-board name in the EDITOR.INF on the same line where Synchronet puts to the "to" name. It seems both could be very useful to an editor. I don't rember if MSGINF includes the "to" name too. I'll have to look into that as well...

MSGINF does include the "to" line. If the sub-board name could be added to EDITOR.INF, SlyEdit could use that and also let users change the subject with RESULT.ED. The "to" name is useful too, so it would be good to have the sub-board name on a different line.
