DM,ããIs it possible with baja to notify a user there is new mail waiting; say forãexample when a main menu that is a baja module is executed? The reason I askãis becuase the way I have set up sbbs, baja modules are called one after theãother the moment a user logs in. All my sbbs menus are baja modules.

Is the kind of "mail" you're referring to? SBBSecho creates theãtelegrams to users, notifying them of received netmail and echomail, when itãtosses the mail. SBBSecho doesn't need to run during logon to do this as theãtelegrams created when SBBSecho does run just sit there until they areãdisplayed to the user and then automatically deleted.ããIf you're just interested in displaying the number of personal email messagesãwaiting for a user, you can use the MAILW @-code to display this value.ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #49:ãJAM and Squish were considered before developing Synchronet Message Base format.ãNorco, CA WX: 60.0øF, 78.0% humidity, 6 mph ENE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

If you're somehowãdefeating the logon process, I suppose that could prevent telegrams from beingãdisplayed to the user.ããIf you look in your sbbs data/msgs directory, do you see a buch ####.msg files?ãIf so, those are telegrams waiting to be displayed to users (normally, as theyãlogon).ãã > Is there a way to read the telegrams without SBBSecho?ããSBBSecho doesn't have anything to do with reading/displaying telegrams. You canãforce any waiting telegrams to be displayed to the user with the JSãbbs.get_telegram() method. There's no Baja-equivalent method, but you couldãforce the "message waiting" flag on with the following Baja code:ãã or _node_misc NODE_MSGWãã(this requires the !include of sbbsdefs.inc and nodedefs.inc)ããThe next time the BBS checks for pending telegrams (e.g. in a call to the BajaãSYNC function), any/all waiting telegrams should be displayed.ãã > And whatã > state does SBBS have to be in to display the telegrams; I mean, what actionsã > have to place before SBBS decides it's OK to display telegrams.
