Hi DM,ããI was experimenting with the new MsgBase.get_index() function that was addedãrecently and printing the properties & values in the objects to see what wasãbeing returned. I'm a little confused on the 'to', 'from', and 'subject'ãfields in these objects, as those values are numbers. Are those not supposedãto be the 'to' and 'from' names and the subject for the message? For instance,ãthis is the first one for my Dove-Net General sub-board:ãã number: 31191ã to: 17496ã from: 50642ã subject: 23909ã attr: 0ã offset: 0ã time: 1501951866ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

For the mail base, the 'to' andã'from' fields of an index record contain the destination and source userãnumbers, when relevant (0 when the source or destination is a network entity).ããFor sub-boards, the index record to and from fields contain a hash of the 'to'ãand 'from' user name or alias. The hash is a CRC-16 of the string's lowercaseãvalue.ããThe subject field of SMB index records always contains a hash (again, CRC-16)ãof the lowercase version of the message subject - for simple threadingãpurposes, for both mail bases and sub-boards.ããMore details can be found here, if you're interested:ãhttp://synchro.net/docs/smb.htmlãã digital manããSynchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #42:ãKD = King Drafus (Allen Christiansen)ãNorco, CA WX: 56.3øF, 39.0% humidity, 0 mph SW wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
