Hi DM,

Using Synchronet's "Scan for messages to you", I've noticed that bbs.smb_curmsg
seems to be relative to the messages to you rather than to the entire list of
messages in the sub-board.  For instance, when reading the first message to
you, bbs.smb_curmsg is 0, regardless of whether that message is the first
message in the sub-board or not.  Is that the way it was intended?  It would
help if there was avariable that gives the message number that doesn't change
when scanning for messages to you - is there such a variable?

Currently, SlyEdit can insert the original author's initials to the front of
quote lines.  The issue is that when a user scans for messages to them and
replies to the message, SlyEdit gets the wrong original author name because it
uses bbs.smb_curmsg, which in that case will point to a different message than
if the user was at the regular message read prompt.
