    DM,

    Could you add an sample [msglist] section in modopts.ini or on the wiki? I tried to add them from the table on the current wiki page and I dont know if it's my syntax (what goes in quotes and what shouldn't) or what, but it really messed up the display after I saved it. For example the Preview seperator just displayed xC4 (with the slash prefix) in a never ending loop until I hung up.

    To add string literals (where the \x character escape sequence would be recognized), you need to use the colon separator (not equals):
    https://wiki.synchro.net/config:ini_files#string_literals

    e.g.

    [msglist]
    preview_separator: \xC4

    If you need to use leading or trailing white-space, you'll need to to enclose the string in quotes, e.g.

    preview_lines_fmt: " lines %u-%u"
