      Hi Ozz,              On 2019-02-08 23:04:26, you wrote to you:               ON>> FMail to me ECHOLIST with new posts via TOSS. And what is the best        ON>> way               ON> Realized that could also mean "NEW ECHO LIST"... but, mainly anything to        ON> shortcircuit time a BBS needs for "whats new" for users who actively read        ON> and write in the echos. I can then accumulate a list of ECHOS by DAY - and        ON> when a user logs back in - POOF there is almost real-time list of new ECHO        ON> POSTS, and I can use that for quickly FindNewByUser(UserCRC, UserID) which        ON> can pull from LastRead - or I could pre-create a list - all about making        ON> QuickBBS quicker...              Isn't that what the .jlr files in the JAM message base are for? They contain       the last read "pointers" for each user, and they are updated everytime fmail       updates the jam area files, as far as I remember...?               ON> Again, thanks! Keep up the work! I have racks of servers with        ON> different OSes and APPs if you need a test bed, let me know. (I am        ON> good at finding bugs, and making them too) ;-)              Currently I and the single other test node, only use FMail with Binkly Style       Outbound (BSO), and Golded as editor. And no bbs. So it could use some testing       in other environments...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)    |
