• Re: Setting the default message area & group

    Anyone know how to force setting to the local message group every time
    you log in, or make reading/replying to own mail on login work without having to manually set your base first?

    One could edit the prelogin, firstcmd to include (MG) Data=1...

    MG - Change Message Group

    Data: "+", "-", <Group ID>, or None

    This action will list the Message Groups that the user has access to,
    excluding any groups flagged as "hidden" and then prompt the user to
    select a group.

    If the data is set to "+" then Mystic will move to the next available
    message group.

    If the data is set to "-" then Mystic will move to the previous available message group.

    If the Group Unique ID is supplied, Mystic will automatically change the
    user into the specific message group.

    When joining a message group, Mystic will display the "group#" display file from the theme's text directory if it exists, where # is the group's ID.

    However, I don't have to do this so... there must be another setting that is smarter to use; I think I remember setting new users; or ALL users??? to message conference 1 in the settings? Or am I cuckoo? Just trying to help... I bet a smarter sysOp will post a better solution. This could be one that forces it, tho.
