  • Normal file list type not automatically used for ASCII

    From Björn Wiberg@2:201/137 to g00r00 on Sat Aug 7 09:15:58 2021
    Hello g00r00!

    I noticed that when listing files, and a user has ASCII, Mystic appears not to automatically use (force usage of) "Normal" type file listings instead of "Full" screen type file listings. I.e. it will not ignore user setting #17.

    This is in contrast to the message editor type (user setting #15) and the message reader type (user setting #20), where Mystic appears to automatically use "Line" editor and "Normal" message reader, regardless of those settings, when a user has ASCII.

    Perhaps an easy fix?

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards
    Bj”rn

    It does fallback to to the non-full listing when ASCII mode is enabled and I just tested it on my BBS successfully.

    How are you listing files? There must be more to it then that!
