Message Base Settings
This section of the Mystic BBS Configuration System allows the SysOp to configure a number of settings that apply to the message base system in Mystic BBS. Here you can define how you wish message bases to be displayed, if messages should be sent immediately upon their creation, rules regarding the way netmail can be sent etc. There are areas here that you will want to update from their default settings.
This example screen is from a Windows based system and displays the standard 'out of the box' settings that ship with the default installation.

List Compression
This option, if toggled on, will compress message area numbers so they are always sequential during a message area list. So in a message area list, if a user does not have access to area number 2, then the next area that the user does have access to will become area number 2.
List Columns
This option allows the number of columns used in the message area lists to be configured. Valid options are 1 or 2 columns.
Show Message Header
Bases in Group List
Max AutoSig Lines
Force NL Match
Extended Reply ACS
Attachment ACS
Msg Upload ACS
Add [ANSI] Prefix
Mystic now has an option to add [ANSI] prefix to message subjects of ANSI messages. This can be set to off, on, or echomail only.
Add Re: Prefix
when this option is on Mystic will add “Re:” to the subjects of replies (as Mystic always has) or when off it will strip Re: and not add.
Note: Mystic will now strip all [ANSI] tags and RE: prefixes prior to replying to a message, and recalculate/re-add them as required when saving the reply message. That means if you reply to a message with an ANSI tag but the reply contains no ANSI, the [ANSI] tag will be removed from the subject.
