   Hello g00r00!   
      
   Kind of a corner case, but I thought I would mention it anyway --   
      
   If a user does not have access to any message bases in a message group -- or   
   if there are no message bases in that message group -- and the user is   
   forcibly "placed" in that message group -- e.g. a guest user being placed in a   
   Local message group and the email message base (ID 1) with (MG) Data: 1 and   
   (MA) Data: 1 in the prelogin menu -- the message menu correctly shows that no   
   message base is selected:   
      
   Group....: Local   
   Area.....: None   
      
   If the user joins another message group, e.g. FidoNet, we get:   
      
   Group....: FidoNet   
   Area.....: FidoNet Netmail   
      
   But if the user then switches back to the Local message group, we get:   
      
   Group....: Local   
   Area.....: FidoNet Netmail   
      
   ...which is a bit confusing, as that message base does not "belong" to that   
   message group (it has List ACS: g3 whereas the Local message group is g1). In   
   other words, that combination of message group and message base could not   
   normally be selected by the user.   
      
   Would it be possible for Mystic to "unselect" (set to None) the current   
   message base when switching to a message group where there are no "listable"   
   message bases available to the user?   
      
   Thanks in advance!   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
