hey all

so couple of synchro questions....

1. in the default "scan for messages to you" option, that works fine but then i have to scroll up to find what areas etc they were.
is there any way to stop the listing of echos that don't have a message in them for "me"?

2. is there an option to do a new message scan like normal but only show messages that are to me and not all of the new ones?

had a couple of users ask me that the last couple of days.

charlie

If you have screen pausing enabled, it should automatically pause for a key press ("Hit a key" prompt") for each screen-full of text.

When you perform the "Your message search" you should be prompted whether to
show the entire message to you or just the meta-data summary (to/from/subject). You're also prompted to should only un-read messages.

I think the only thning missing from your ask is to not the names of sub-boards that are searched but do not contain any messages for you. Feature requests can be submitted at gitlab.synchro.net
