 </code>
+===== 1.12 Alpha 44 =====
+<code>
+ + New MPL variable: CfgDefTheme returns the configured default theme
+ + New MPL variable: CfgTextFB returns the theme's text fallback theme
+ + New MPL variable: CfgScriptFB returns the theme's script fallback theme
+ + New MPL variable: CfgFallback returns true or false if default theme
+   fallback is enabled for current theme
+ + New Python CFG variable: deftheme returns the configured default theme
+ + New Python CFG variable: textfb returns the theme's text fallback theme
+ + New Python CFG variable: scriptfb returns the theme's script fallback
+ + New Python CFG variable: fallback returns the themes' fallback setting
+ + Updated default BULLETIN.MPS file to support scanning for bulletins in
+   all theme fallback directories.
+ ! MPLC was not properly scanning all directories recursively when -ALL was
+   supplied.  Additionally, MPLC will now not attempt to compile a .mps file
+   that is 0 bytes in size.
+ + New Theme system has been implemented.  The default text, menu, and
+   scripts directories in the System Configuration have been removed and
+   replaced by a single Themes directory.  This directory specifies the root
+   directory where all Mystic BBS themes are found Ex: c:\mystic\themes\
+   THEME.DAT has been depreciated and is no longer used by Mystic BBS
+   Theme prompts are no longer restricted to being 255 characters or less,
+   they now have an unlimited length.
+   UPGRADE utility will convert your existing BBS to the new themes structure
+   for you so you do not have to do anything.
+   Each theme itself now has a root directory that can be up to 20 characters
+   in length, and consists of three subdirectories.  Each theme has a
+   theme.ini in the root directory that contains various configuration options
+   that can be configured by text editor or the Themes Editor.
+   Each them can also have a prompts.txt which contains one or more Mystic BBS
+   prompts.  Any prompts not in prompts.txt are loaded from the theme's
+   fallback if one is specified, and ultimately the "default" prompt found in
+   prompts.dat (new to Mystic BBS).
+   Themes can now contain only the prompts that are actually customized instead
+   of requiring ALL prompts to be in a theme's prompt file, and then it can
+   fallback and pull inherited prompts or defaults.  This means that you will
+   no longer have to update your prompts for every theme when new prompts are
+   added or existing prompts that you haven't customized are changed
+   Scripts and menus work the same as prompts do with the capability to fall
+   back to another theme and/or ultimately the configured default theme if
+   that feature is enabled.
+   The directory structure looks like this:
+      \mystic\themes                                - Root Theme directory
+      \mystic\themes\default                        - Default theme directory
+      \mystic\themes\default\theme.ini              - Theme settings
+      \mystic\themes\default\prompts.txt            - Prompts (optional)
+      \mystic\themes\default\text                   - Text/template files
+      \mystic\themes\default\menus                  - Menus
+      \mystic\themes\default\scripts                - Scripts
+   There is no installation process for a theme as Mystic will detect them
+   dynamically.  If you have a Theme and you wish to share it, all you have to
+   do is ZIP up the theme directory (default as shown above) and give it to
+   whoever you want to share it with.  They just paste the directory into their
+   root theme directory and it will instantly appear in Mystic BBS without any
+   other work required.  This makes it very easy to create, update, and share
+   custom themes.
+ + Themes now have an input barrier option, where a character can be defined
+   to be displayed on the left and right side of string-based input prompts.
+   LeftChar/LeftAttr RightChar/RightAttr can all be defined in theme.ini and
+   one or both character can be enabled.
+ + New MCI code |IB disables the input barrier for the next string input
+   prompt.
+ + New Python function "setpinfo(byte, string)" text the prompt info value
+   for byte to the text in string. Ex: setpinfo(1, "Hello world!")
+ + New Python has many new functions for accessing the file listings.  A new
+   demo filelist.mpy has been added to the default installation to demonstrate
+   these functions.  The following new functions have been created:
+   function "fl_open(basefn)" opens a filelist where basefn is the filename
+   for the file base, returning a handle to the filelist  If a filelist does
+   not exist one will be created.
+   function "fl_close(handle)" closes an opened filelist
+   function "fl_seek(handle, filenumber, skip)" seeks to a file number. This
+   should always be called before cycling through file listing.  If Skip is
+   set to true, then Deleted records will not be returned.
+   function "fl_next(handle)" return the next available file
+   function "fl_prev(handle)" return the previous available file
+   function "fl_found(handle)" returns true if a message from the last seek
+   or next or prev function has been found
+   function "fileinfo = fl_getfile(handle)" returns a dictionary with
+   information about the current file
+   function "filedesc = fl_getdesc(handle)" returns a list that contains the
+   file description.
+ + BUSYLOG debug logging has finally been disabled.
+ + Two new Python functions:
+     function dateu2d(date) : date - This converts a unix date to a DOS
+     crunched date used in places in Mystic.  This date format is being
+     replaced in Mystic but it still exists in some areas.
+     function dated2u(date) : date - This converts a DOS crunched date to a
+     Unix timestamp
+ + New Python function: function acsnogroup(access string) : boolean
+   Process an access string but returns "true" for all group checks regardless
+   of the user's group membership.  Returns true or false is user has access
+ + New Python function: procedure setprompt(number, text)
+   This sets a theme prompt to the value of text for the duration of the user's
+   session or until they change or reload the theme.  The change is not
+   permanent.
+ + New Python function: function msg_stats(msgbase)
+   This function works by passing the handle of an already opened message
+   base (msg_open).  It calculates and returns 4 results: Total messages,
+   new messages for the current user, number of messages addressed to the
+   user, and the unix date of the last post in the message base.   This
+   function may cause problems if used within a message reading loop, so
+   msg_seek may need to be called afterwards in that case.  Example:
+     total, new, yours, lastpost = msg_stats(msg)
+ + New Python function: function getnetaddr(number)
+   This function returns a network address configuration passed as number to
+   the function.  The result is a dictionary with the following elements:
+      zone, net, node, point, desc, domain, primary, addr
+   Primary is a 0 or 1 value, 1 being true.  Addr is a string representation
+   of zone, net, node, point.
+ + File Base Editor now shows Network address on the list window, and also
+   allows sorting by Base Name, File Name, and Network.
+ + Expanded node messages from 79 characters to 245 characters.
+ + Template prompts no longer have a length limit of 255 characters, they now
+   have no maximum length.
+ + File Base Index lister (file_index.ini) now has a sort option which allows
+   bases to appear in alphabetical order or by order of appearance in the
+   group editor.  See the default file_index.ini for example.
+ + Some minor changes to the menu editor, mostly cosmetic and some text
+   changes to help clarify what options are when editing a commmand.  You can
+   now also use Page Up/Down to move between menu commands without having to
+   exit back out to the list of all menu commands.  You can now use CTRL+V to
+   simulate a menu while editing an actual menu command.
+ + New MCI code for prompt #2: &1=User handle &2=Location
+ ! Fixed year 2020 bug that caused some wrong day calculations in a couple
+   of places.  The next bug should be 2038, so we have a few more years to get
+   that addressed before it becomes an issue.
+ + MPLC now has a -T option which will attempt to read MYSTIC.DAT either in
+   the current directory or using the mysticbbs environment variable to get
+   the Theme path, and then it will recursively compile any scripts found in
+   the Theme directory tree.  You can optionally supply the path to Mystic
+   BBS root directory if you have multiple installations.  Example:
+      mplc -t         - Attempts to read mystic.dat from current directory or
+                        mysticbbs environment variable, and then uses Themes
+                        path to compile.
+      mplc -t /mybbs  - Attempts to read mystic.dat from the supplied root
+                        directory, and then uses Themes path to compile
+ + MPLC now has a -F option which will attempt to read the Theme path and then
+   compile any files matching the supplied mask contained in any directories
+   under the Theme directory. Example: mplc -f bulletin*
+ + Improved detection of time expiration and connection loss during message
+   and file scans.
+ ! SEEN-BY lines should now include the net number at the start of new lines
+ ! Mystic SMTP client now resends "EHLO" after upgrading connection to SSL.
+   Some servers work without this step so it slipped through testing.
+ + MIS and FIDOPOLL now save the last dates they interacted with an echomail
+   node.  This value is now displayed in the Echomail node editor when
+   highlighting a node (Last Inbound=MIS, Last Outbound=FIDOPOLL). /R can be
+   used inside the node editor to reset stats.
+ ! Mystic was not using a 0-based month in PKT file headers.  Fixed.
+ + New prompt editor!  There is now a Reset function which will reset a prompt
+   back to the system default prompt.  The Undo function has been enhanced to
+   save the last 100 changes and will allow you to undo prompt changes
+   starting from the newest change of a prompt to the oldest if you have made
+   many changes.  The source of a prompt in the editor is now shown with the
+   following values:
+     Current Theme  - Prompt is customized by the current theme
+     System Default - Prompt is not part of any theme, using system default
+     <Theme Name>   - Prompt was inherited from <Theme Name>
+   Only current theme prompts are saved in the theme's prompts.txt.
+ + All theme prompts have had their maximum length in expanded from 250
+   characters to 8192 characters per prompt.
+ + Themes now have an ACS string that can be used to hide themes from the
+   listing.  Keep in mind when configuring your BBS to allow theme selection
+   on connect: There will not be a user known at that time so any security
+   will cause the theme not to show.
+   The ACS is for the listing only.  The purpose is mostly to hide themes
+   while they are in development.  Themes can still be selected regardless
+   of ACS using using a menu command:
+      Command: GE (Edit User Settings)
+         Data: 14 mytheme
+ + The GE suboption 14 menu command (select theme) now has a /RELOAD option
+   which causes the current theme prompts to refresh:
+      Command: GE (Edit User Settings)
+         Data: 14 /reload
+ + Themes now have an "Order" property which determines which themes are
+   listed first.  Values can be between 1-65000 with the lowest numbers
+   being listed first.  Themes will also be listed in the Themes editor using
+   this value.
+ ! Fixed a bug that could cause protocol downloads to get stuck on a
+   connection drop
+ + MUTIL's MsgPurge now validates that messages are from or addressed to valid users
+   if the base type is Private or the base allows for Private replies within
+   the base.
+ + By request, Mystic no longer shows the OS and Node number when initially
+   connecting to the BBS.  If you wish to add this back you can use MCI codes
+   or tell me why you think it needs to be reverted!
+ ! Fixed a bug where MSGID could result in 0:0/0 when zone matching a Netmail
+   base with no address assigned to it.
+ + Mystic no longer logs the actual bad password text.  This should have
+   been removed a long time ago but I always liked seeing what the scripted
+   bots tried to log in with when they found my BBS.
+ + Rewrote all of the FLO add/remove functions with improved file locking to
+   address potential race conditions.
+ ! Fixed an issue with a file resume race condition in BinkP client/server
+ ! Fixed an memory leak introduced in A43 that could cause a rescan to give
+   corrupt message(s) in a packet.
+ + Msg/File base global editors now ask you if you want to abort when pressing
+   escape to exit.
+ + Echonode editor now warns you if you edit a node and save it with a 0:0/0
+   address or a missing domain.
+   <ALPHA 1.12 A44 RELEASED -- 4 Feb, 2020>
+</code>
+===== 1.12 Alpha 45 =====
+<code>
+ ! Fixed bug in Python setprompt function.
+ ! Rewrote some old DOS compatibility wrappers so that Mystic no longer
+   localizes the file times in BinkP sessions.
+ ! Similar to BinkP Mystic no longer localizes the system time in the Path
+   portion of a TIC file.
+ ! Fixed a bug with Lightbar/Grid style menus that was causing them to not
+   handle extended key jumps properly.
+ ! Fixed a bug in the nodelist browser that could cause some results to show
+   the wrong Net number.
+ + Menu Command: GE option 17 (Change file list type) can now have an option
+   of 0 or 1 (0=standard 1=lightbar) to set the type without prompting
+      Command: GE (Edit user settings)
+         Data: 17 1
+ + Menu command: GE option 20 (Change message reader type) can now have an
+   option of 0 or 1 (0=standard 1=lightbar) to set type without prompting
+      Command: GE (Edit user settings)
+         Data: 20 1
+ + Revamped the MUTIL startup code so that it provides better details in the
+   errors.log should it fail to start up for any reason.
+ ! Fixed broken outbound SSH (Menu command IS)
+ + When entering Echomail addresses, Mystic will now automatically assign the
+   Primary address if one isn't defined.  Primary flag will also be removed if
+   an address is set to 0:0/0 with primary flag.
+ + Mystic BINKP server now sends an M_ERR frame and aborts the session if it
+   receives what looks to be nonsense from the remote client.  Previously it
+   would wait until timeout.
+ + When Mystic's Firewall has blocked a connection it will now detect if the
+   connection was intended to be BINKP and send a "BUSY" flag with a note that
+   says the connection is blocked.  FIDOPOLL will now detect this as well.
+ ! Fixed a bug where a user's scan settings for a base could get "stuck" in
+   Forced mode if a base was forced and then changed.
+ + Mystic now has an "Auto Whitelist IP" option in Login/Matrix settings. This
+   option can have two values: "User Flag", or "All Users".
+   When set to "User Flag" Mystic will check a flag on the user's account
+   called "Whitelist IP" and if its set, it will automatically whitelist the
+   IP of the user who logged in if it is not already whitelisted.
+   When set to "All Users" Mystic will automatically whitelist the IP
+   of all users who successfully log into the BBS.
+   <ALPHA 1.12 A45 RELEASED -- 18 Feb, 2020>
+</code>
+===== 1.12 Alpha 46 =====
+<code>
+ + Mystic Linux version no longer uses command line options for password
+   during RLOGIN and SSH sessions.  It now privately passes using a 512
+   bit hash.
+ - The old MI Message Index Reader has been removed and replaced with the
+   newer Index reader.  This "new" index reader has been in Mystic to be
+   tested under the M! menu command for more than a year so it is time to
+   get rid of the old.  The default template is msg_index so you should
+   copy msg_index.ans and msg_index.ini during upgrade if you haven't yet.
+ + Mystic's BINKP server now has an "SSL Port" option which when set to a
+   non-zero value will also run the BINKP server in direct SSL mode.
+ - Removed the Opportunistic BINKP SSL/TLS extension support as Mystic was
+   the only known software to support it and it was unlikely other software
+   would adopt it.  Maybe I'll bring it back someday as I do prefer this
+   method of BINKP server.
+ + Mystic's BINKP server now allows the "Port" option to be set to 0 to
+   disable non-SSL connections when used in combination with the SSL Port
+   option, so that Mystic will only accept SSL BINKP connections.
+ + FIDOPOLL and EchoMail node entries now have a "Use SSL" option which flags
+   whether or not the node being configured for BINKP is an SSL BINKP node or
+   not.  Note: The default port for BINKP SSL is 24553.
+ ! Fixed a bug where stale .BSY files were not getting deleted properly.
+ ! Fixed a potential incompatiblity issue with some versions of Cryptlib.
+ ! Fixed an issue where a file that contains "file_id.diz" in its filename but
+   is not an exact match could get left in the temp directory when uploading
+   files.
+ + MIS now has a replacement for FIDOPOLL built into it and is accessible by
+   the "POLL" command line.  This still supports BINKP, BINKPSSL, FTP and
+   Directory connections and has the "send "force" and poll by address lookup
+   options contained in the original.
+   The benefits here besides having one less binary as part of the Mystic
+   package is that it has a better user interface, better logging, and can
+   have an unlimited number of concurrent outbound connections (defaulting
+   to 5, configurable under Servers > General Options).
+   For example if you have 2 FTP uplinks and 5 BINKP nodes that all have mail
+   you can run the "mis poll send" command line it will attempt to send to all
+nodes at the simultaneously instead of one after the other.
+   Eventually FIDOPOLL will be replaced so it may be a good idea to switch
+   over to using this sometime soon.
+ + When attempting to connect to an outbound mail server, MIS will now wait
+   only 6 seconds, down from 10 before assuming the connection is unavailable
+ + MUTIL MsgLink no longer spams every single message base into the logging
+   regardless of loglevel.  Only the base name will be shown if there were
+   messages actually linked within that base (level 2) and a list of the
+   actual links (level 3)
+ + MIS POLL now tracks send and receive file statistics (number of files and
+   size) for FTP-based FTN transmission.
+ + MIS POLL now tracks connection errors for outbound connections for both
+   FTP and BINKP style connections.
+ + New MUTIL function [EchoNodeTracker] can be used for various HUB-related
+   utilities to automate downlink management.  Features include:
+      - Suspending echomail nodes based on days of inactivity
+          - Optionally unlinking message/file base subscriptions
+          - Optionally deleting their entire outbound mail queue
+      - Changing mail and filebox crash nodes to hold-only after a set
+        number of failed outbound connection attempts
+      - Automated resetting of echomail tracking statistics after X days
+   See default MUTIL.INI [EchoNodeTracker] stanza for more information.
+ + When changing a node from "Inactive" to "Active" in the Echomail node
+   editor, Mystic will now ask if you'd like to reset the node's statistics.
+ + EchoNode editor now shows a "Crash Errors" statistic which is the number
+   of failed outbound connect attempts since last reset.
+ + CHATx.DAT files now include the Process ID of the current process running
+   the node and the updated field now uses a Unix timestamp.
+ + Users now have a new flag that when set to Yes will always log them in as
+   invisible, bypassing the login as invisisble prompt when set to Yes.
+ ! Fixed a bug with BINKP where Mystic could send a 0 byte length data frame
+   if a file size was exactly evenly divisible by the buffer size.
+ + Mystic now allows the -Nx command line to be supplied to force a specific
+   node number if you want to log into it.  You should still not use this and
+   let Mystic manage the number numbers itself, but I've added this for those
+   that seem to be trying to do this for some reason.
+ ! Fixed a bug with SSL and BINKP where the data frame size could be
+   improperly calculated under severely throttled/poor latency connections.
+ + Two new Python functions: msg_getlr and msg_setlr to get and set the
+   lastread pointer for the currently opened message base.
+     Syntax: msg_getlr (msgbase, userID) returns last read message
+         Ex: lastread = msg_getlr(msgbase, user["id"])
+     msgbase is the open message base pointer returned by msg_open
+     userID is the user's unique ID found in the "id" field of a user
+     lastread is a signed 32-bit integer of the last read message which can
+     be passed to msg_seek, for example.
+     Syntax: msg_setlr (msgbase, userID, userHandle, lastread)
+         Ex: msg_setlr (msgbase, user["id"], user["handle"], lastread)
+     The user handle should always be passed (not the real name) as this value
+     will be hashed as required when a new last read record needs to be added
+     for the user.
+ ! When deleting an Echomail node, Mystic was not delinking the nodes from
+   file bases causing an "Unknown node" message to appear in file bases.
+ + Revamped group configuration.  Group names have been expanded to 80
+   characters.  Groups now have new ShortName field (40 characters).  Groups
+   now have a InfoFile field (40 characters), and each group's Hidden boolean
+   has been changed to a flags field.
+ + New MCI code: <pipe>FS returns the current file group short name
+ + New MCI code: <pipe>MS returns the current message group short name
+ + MPL groups now have "groupshort" and "groupinfo" and "groupflags" variables
+ + Python groups now have "shortname" "infofile" and "flags" entries in the
+   group dictionary.
+ + MIS.LOG now has configurable log rolling in the System Configuration >
+   Servers > Logging section.
+ + POLL.LOG now has configurable log rolling in the System Configuration >
+   Servers > Logging section.
+ + When using GOSUB/RETURN with Lightbar menus, Mystic will now remember your
+   last selected item and return the cursor position to it when returning.
+   If you want to reset the cursor, use /CURSOR on the data field of your GR
+   menu command.
+ ! MIS was not refusing to run if the Mystic BBS data files did not match the
+   version of MIS.
+ ! When in the text editor in view only mode, the backspace key was still
+   working in edit mode.
+ ! Mystic was being way too aggressive with SSL read/write timeout values
+   which may have caused some errors in SSL BINKP.
+ + New option: "Ask Message Post" in message settings, when set to yes or no
+   determines if Mystic will ask users if they'd like to post after reading
+   a message base.
+ + Mystic's message readers will now print all the maximum column width per
+   line instead of columns - 1.  This means that your message reading
+   template will need to not use the bottom line of the user's terminal for
+   message text or it will cause the user's terminal to scroll.  This may be
+   reverted back, but we'll see how it goes and how it effects people.
+ ! When toggling show kludges (V) in the standard message reader, Mystic was
+   not automatically displaying the message.
+ + Max number of simultaneous poll connections is now configurable in the
+   Servers > General Options section of System Configuration
+ + When tossing TIC files, the dir_prefix can now be defined by source address
+   as with other settings.
+ + New command line option -AUTH <user> <password> checks the supplied user
+   and password and prints TRUE if the user exists and password matches or
+   FALSE otherwise and then immediately exits.
+ ! Fixed a bug in Linux versions where Mystic would couldn't find files in the
+   file base when hatching a file, despite it actually existing.
+ ! Fixed a bug that could cause some long lines in echomail packets to get
+   truncated at 255 characters when tossing messages.
+ ! Fixed a bug in the FTP server that would confuse some FTP clients when
+   closing a data connection (sending two 226 responses after successful
+   transfer).
+ + Mystic now allows a single message base to be assigned to a QWK network
+   when operating as a hub, and a FidoNet style network.  Gating will be
+   automatic when configured for both.
+ ! Fixed a bug when copying an event in the event editor that would cause it
+   to have the same unique ID as the original event.  This could cause some
+   events to save incorrectly.  When editing an event, all IDs should be
+   unique (the ID is shown at the top of the edit window). Review your events
+   and if you have any that have a duplicate ID you should either make a copy
+   and then delete the original or just delete the original and remake it so
+   all events have a unique ID.
+ + MUTIL ImportEchomail now has a bad_packet setting which defines a directory
+   where bad packets are moved to when an error occurs during import.
+ + New Python function: flush().  This forces any data currently in Mystic's
+   outbound buffer to be sent to the remote client.  In almost all
+   circumstances Mystic handles this for you so this will not be needed.
+ + New Python function: purgeinput().  This clears out any input currently in
+   Mystic's input buffer.  In most cases when doing any IO with the user Mystic
+   will handle this on its own.
+ ! Mouse support was not working in Lightbar menus.  Not sure when this was
+   broken but it was probably when I changed how NetRunner mouse support
+   worked in Beta 19.
+ + Msg listing and file listing was not working properly with mouse support
+   but I also changed it to allow clicking an already selected message or
+   file to read the message or flag the file respectively.
+ + New MCI codes for setting high intensity background colors ON or OFF for
+   compatible terminals like NetRunner and SyncTerm:
+      CY - Turns iCE colors ON
+      CN - Turns iCE colors OFF
+ + New Menu Command: XV.  This option allows the user to validate their
+   e-mail address from the Matrix login menu.
+ + Users can now be created in the User Editor by using the CTRL+A hotkey
+ + Updated the defaults for Matrix login so it no longer uses a Matrix
+   password by default.
+ ! Fixed a bug in the QWKPOLL FTP client and the FTN FTP client that was
+   causing non-passive mode to fail.
+ ! Fixed a display bug in the From field of routed Netmail messages.
+ ! MIS was not resolving the "Country" of the connection when the IP address
+   was whitelisted.
+ + Area/Filefix both now accept %QUERY which works the same as %LINKED
+ ! Fixed a bug with the MPL compiler and the DateValid fuction
+ + New users can now be created from the command line using the -NEWUSER
+   option followed by a series of attributes in any order:
+     mystic -newuser handle=myhandle "name=real name" pass=mypass
+     email=mysticbbs@gmail.com level=10
+   Mystic will print TRUE or FALSE to STDIO depending on if the user was
+   successfully created or not.  The command line MUST have a handle, name,
+   and password attribute at a minimum for the create to succeed.
+   The level value will accept anything less than 250.  Any new user created
+   with a level of 250 or higher will be rejected.
+ + The "hackwarn.txt", "newletter.txt" and "sysletter.txt" automatic messages
+   will now be sent from/to the "Feedback To" setting instead of using the
+   SysOp name setting.
+ + When searching for a user name, typing "SYSOP" will now translate to the
+   "Feedback To" user setting instead of the SysOp Name.
+ ! MUTIL PostTextFile was not using the default Origin line when the base's
+   origin line was blank.
+ + When executing an archive, MIS and MUTIL will now automatically append
+>nul redirect to prevent leaking error messages.
+ ! Did a review of the FTP server code which resulted in a bug fix and a fix
+   of a memory leak when using passive and extended passive modes.  Server
+   stability has also been (hopefully) increased.
+ ! Fixed a bug with QWK packet generation when message text lines are longer
+   than 255 characters.  This bug existed both in the BBS and the QWK
+   Networking engines.
+ + Mystic-DOS "EDIT" command now also accepts "nano" and "notepad" for those
+   of you who have that stuck in your head.
+ + Two new MCI codes to show message status of E-mail base:
+      MW : Shows the number of messages in your e-mail box
+      MU : Shows the number of unread messages in your mailbox
+   Note that these values are set to 0 until the MC (Check E-mail) menu
+   command is executed.  The values are calculated at that time.
+ + New optional data option for menu command MC (Check E-mail): /SCAN
+   If /SCAN is supplied the MC command will only calculate the current
+   mailbox stats (total messages and unread messages) without having any
+   display or interaction with the user.  These values will be stored in
+   the MU and MW MCI codes.
