| util:scfg:message_options [2022/02/21 06:53] – Created page, added screenshots, and copied over inline help text. Andre | util:scfg:message_options [2022/02/25 16:37] (current) – [Main Window Options] Brought over a small amount of old doc info. Made the BBS ID less nuanced in should vs must to get it less wordy. Added internal wiki links. Still don't know how spam tagging works, so that's still a todo. Andre |
