Hi DM -ããI think I may have found a bug with the bbs object's post_msg() method. If youãpass in a reply header whose "from" property is a blank string, sbbsctrl willãcrash. I found this in a script I have that lists messages in a sub-board andãallows the user to select one to read and optionally reply to it. I'm usingãthe daily build from September 20.ããThere's a message that was posted in the Synchronet Discussion sub on Dove-Netãtoday (October 7) that has a blank "from" name. My script gets a messageãheader from MsgBase.get_msg_header(), and in this case, it's "from" name wasãblank; if I select to reply to the message, my script then passes that messageãheader object to bbs.post_msg() (as the 3rd parameter), and at that point, myãsbbsctrl would crash. I tried it several times to verify the crash and wasãable to reproduce it each time.ããMy workaround was to make sure the "from" name in the header is set toãsomething if it's blank - I set it to "All" in that case. Then, when I passãthe header object to bbs.post_msg(), "All" becomes the default "To" name forãmy reply, and sbbsctrl doesn't crash.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digdist.bbsindex.comã
