Hi DM,ããToday I noticed there's a bbs.edit_msg() function that was added in Synchronet 3.18. I tried calling that with a header for an existing message in a sub-board. When my editor came up, it was empty. Should it be editing the existing message contents?ããI'm running today's Synchronet build (March 23, 2022) for Windows.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

It seems the MsgBase object associated with the header needs to still be open for it to work (even though you aren't passing the MsgBase object to edit_msg()).ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã
