Message Header
When reading messages, you will often want to create a custom header for the message reading, as an asc/ans file, instead of the default message header driven by TEXT.DAT settings.
The File should exist in ./text/menu/MSGHDR.ASC
you can use the ANS2ASC utility for an initial conversion. You will then want to put the appropriate control codes into the message header.
Here are a few codes that I find useful (note the -L### is for padding/trimming the length of an item)
- @SMB_GROUP@
- @SMB_SUB-L#######@
- @SMB_CURMSG@
- @SMB_MSGS@
- @MSG_DATE-L#########################@
- @MSG_ATTR-L#########################@
- @MSG_FROM_NAME-L#########################@
- @MSG_TO_NAME-L#########################@
- @MSG_SUBJECT-L#########################@
