|    (MM) Send mass e-mail looks at Real Name    |

      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 2:201/137 0f6160bd       TZUTC: 0200       Hello g00r00!              Just an observation --              I noticed that the (MM) Send mass e-mail function, when chosing to post       to a list of users, appears to be looking at (and using) the Real Names       setting of the currently selected message base rather than that of the e-mail       base (ID 1).              Example:                     (in the message menu, in a message area with Real Names: No)              SysOp Commands              (/J) Message Group Editor (/E) Message Area Editor (/M) Mass PM       (/*) SysOp Menu              Group....: Local       Area.....: Private Messages (PMs)       Command (9832 minutes left) -> /M              Send mass PM by/to:              (1) ACS Level       (2) List of Users       (3) All Users              (Q) Quit              Command -> 2              Enter username or search string.       Press Enter to end.                     0 user(s) in list. Enter username: Zip              Do you mean Zip? Yes No (selecting Yes)              1 user(s) in list. Enter username:              User mailing list:               Zip              Send mass PM to this list? Yes No (selecting No to abort)                     ...which is correct; my Private Messages e-mail base (ID 1) has Real Names: No.              Then, after switching to another group and a message base with Real Names: Yes:                     SysOp Commands              (/J) Message Group Editor (/E) Message Area Editor (/M) Mass PM       (/*) SysOp Menu              Group....: FidoNet       Area.....: MYSTIC: Discussion and chat about the Mystic BBS software       Command (9833 minutes left) -> /M              Send mass PM by/to:              (1) ACS Level       (2) List of Users       (3) All Users              (Q) Quit              Command -> 2              Enter username or search string.       Press Enter to end.              0 user(s) in list. Enter username: Zip              Do you mean Zip? Yes No (selecting Yes)              1 user(s) in list. Enter username:              User mailing list:               Bj”rn Wiberg              Send mass PM to this list? Yes No                     And if I select Yes and let it post, it does post the mass e-mail using the       real name (as displayed in the list) rather than using the handle.              By the way, in doing so, it appears to change message area (but not message       group):              Group....: FidoNet       Area.....: Private Messages (PMs)       Command (9825 minutes left) ->              ...but that is perhaps expected, as the e-mail base (ID 1) is not       traditionally participating in the message group concept, as you have already       explained to me earlier. :)              Although it would be nice if it switched back to the previous message base       after sending the mass e-mail. :)              Best regards       Bj”rn              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/08/05 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Sweden (2:201/137)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 154/10 201/0 137 203/0 124 221/0 1 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 452 550 700 981 1016 1017 230/0 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5411 5824 5832 5853 6309 249/206 307 317 400 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 633/280 2452/250 2454/119 3634/24       PATH: 201/137 0 203/0 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
