Sure. As for advertising the capability, a drop file might be the best place to
do that. Does SlyEdit read any of the drop-files created by Synchronet (e.g. editor.inf)?

SlyEdit reads msginf (QuickBBS format).

One idea would be to add a 7th line to the MSGINF file which includes the full path tot the editor.tag file. If the editor doesn't find that line in the MSGINF file, it could assume the BBS doesn't support that feature/file.

I'm trying to dig up whatever reference I originally had for the MSGINF file format. I want to make sure there wasn't actually a 7th line already defined. If you have a reference document, that might help.

The EDITOR.INF file is a "newer" drop file format for editors, but contains less information. Was there something you needed specifically from the MSGINF file that you couldn't get from the EDITOR.INF file?

I don't have a reference document. Also, wouldn't that mean adding something non-standard to the drop file?

I remember looking at MSGINF vs. another format (I think the other was the format that WWIV uses) and decided on MSGINF because it did have some piece of information that the other didn't. I don't remember specifically what that piece of information was now, but I'm wondering if it may have been the message area name/description.

Yes, but adding additional lines is how drop files are "extended". And "standard" in the BBS community just means that how someone decided to do it and others depend on that behavior.

I can confirm, the EDITOR.INF (at least the version created by Synchronet) does
not contain the message area name/description.

I think that's a better method (rather than basing it on the Synchronet version
number). I'm not sure if you tested scenarios where a tag file shouldn't be used (e.g. when editing an existing message), but now, in those scenarios, the tag file path will *not* be in the MSGINF file (the 7th line will be blank), indicating that you should not enable that support in your editor either.

I was not successful in finding a reference for the MSGINF file format. I don't
remember what I used for the initial implementation in Synchronet. Maybe I just
had sysops email me some examples? Anyway, QuickBBS has been defunct for so long that I doubt any more lines (beyond the 6 supported by Synchronet) were ever added.

I agree. I've updated SlyEdit to make use of the 7th line in MSGINF if that line is there.

shouldn't be used (e.g. when editing an existing message), but now, in those scenarios, the tag file path will *not* be in the MSGINF file (the 7th line will be blank), indicating that you should not enable that support in your editor either.

I forgot about that scenario; I've made an update to SlyEdit to account for that. Even if MSGINF doesn't include the 7th line, I still want to support tag lines (the tagline would appear in the message above the user's signature though). So in the case of editing an existing message, I've updated SlyEdit to see if the user is editing MSGTMP (I noticed the subject will be "MSGTMP"), and in that case, SlyEdit won't allow adding a tagline.

The editor, if it detects disconnection, just needs to save the currently edited file before exiting (and returning a non-zero error level/exit code). fseditor.js just needed a minor tweak to support this. I'm not sure about all the other external editors out there.

I'll have to see how fseditor.js is implementing it. Does this feature support multiple save files? For instance, in case a user logs on and starts replying to one message and gets disconnected, then logs in again and starts replying to a different message and gets disconnected. Or is it just whatever message got saved last?

It'll save one draft per user per sub (or mail). I've contemplated even making the "to" name part of the saved-draft naming, but haven't gone that far. This is all invisible to the message editor (it just sees/edits the normal input.msg file or whatever).

Since the filename is in the subject, we can't allow the user to change the subject (duh). Also, don't bother with the "Fwd:" prefix thing as that could potentially cause problems in other places where the filename (only) is assumed to be in the subject.

Also, make sure to create the destination directory when moving file attachments. These changes fix issue #230 reported by Keyop.

Log Message:
When writing/reading quotes.txt, ignore first 2 lines if WWIV-type

WWIV writes 2 lines of metadata to the beginning of its quotes.txt file created for external message editors. Its not clear yet what these lines should contain, but the first line apparently should contain a '#' character since BREdit checks for this character before deciding to throw-away/ignore these lines (don't use them for quoted text). Thanks mlong for this tip!

So if the external editor is set to "WWIV CHAIN.TXT" in SCFG (even if the door doesn't need/use it), then the quotes.txt file created by Synchronet will contain the extra 2 lines. We're just writing a # to the first line and the second line is blank.

This fixes reported issue #188.

writemsg() was changing the global smb.subnum and when writing an email or netmail, that subnum value is -1 (since it's not a sub-board) and then later show_msg() is using the smb.subnum as a index into scfg.sub[] when determining if the current user already voted on the message being displayed and then: bang, crash, fall down, go boom.

Simply saving and restoring the smb.subnum when executing an external editor is all that was needed here. And this is the first use of the C++ "auto" keyword in Synchronet!

Log Message:
Bounds-check the buffer being written in msgeditor()

Replace the suspicious strcpy/strcat's in msgeditor(), the built-in line editor, with bounds-enforced snprintf() calls.
Also, properly define MAX_LINE_LEN to account for the trailing \r\n on each line. It appears we've been under allocating the total possible message buffer size (by 2 bytes per line) for a while now.
These 2 changes together should fix issue #547: apparent heap corruption due
to 'buf' overflow in msgeditor().
Also added a line count check/cap-enforcement with logged error message if exceeded (should never happen).

Also fixed in this commit: off-by-one when enforcing max message length in msgeditor().

Also added checks that the 'cols' (used in MAX_LINE_LEN) are reasonable values (40+), 2 was below the threshold of what would be expected to work since
there is logic that deducts 4 from cols, for example.
