  • src/sbbs3/readmail.cpp

    From Rob Swindell (on Windows 11)@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/master on Sunday, December 07, 2025 16:27:10

    Log Message:
    Eliminate the "Start with number [n]:" prompt in initial message listing

    As Deuce pointed out, this prompt can be confusing (no, it's not a menu) and really, it's redundant because you can enter a message number at the
    "Reading E-mail" prompt just as easily.

    Another change is that if the list is aborted (e.g. Ctrl-C hit), leave the current message number as the last message listed.

    Log Message:
    Use get_start_msgnum() when (L)isting msgs from Reading E-mail prompt

    ... for consistency with Reading (sub-board) Msgs prompt behavior

    e.g. the default first message is either the *next* message or (when reading the last message), the first message.

    Log Message:
    Use usernumber from mail message index for reply-to inbox

    If replying to a netmail address that is invalid (e.g. because it's a local address), but the sender was an authenticated user (non-zero 'from' value in the index) - use that as the destination user number (inbox) for the reply
    (via regular email, not netmail).

    Rather than failing with an "Invalid NetMail address: <user@address>" error.

    These types of replies used to work for Internet email, at least, because the mail server would just send to itself (when everything's working). Could be problematic for other network types and really it's just best to avoid the email loop anyway.

    Related to commit 4aa2274c97 "Refuse to send netmail to our own addresses".
