Hello again, g00r00!

I have now tried a fresh install in a temporary directory:
bbs@glimmer:~$ cd build/mystic/mys112a47_210730_190055/
bbs@glimmer:~/build/mystic/mys112a47_210730_190055$ ./install auto /tmp/mystic
bbs@glimmer:/tmp/mystic$ export mysticbbs=/tmp/mystic
Created a "sysop" account. Upgraded it to s255.
Added the /UNREAD flag to the (C)heck for E-mail menu option in the messages
menu:

Logged in with ./mystic -l as "sysop".
Entered the message menu.
Tried to (W)rite a test e-mail to myself ("sysop").
Got "User not found"?
Not sure why -- the "sysop" account showed in the user list...
Created another user "Zip", upgraded it to s20.
Logged in with ./mystic -l as "Zip".
Entered the message menu.
(W)rote two test e-mails to myself ("Zip").
Called (C)heck for E-mail.
It displays:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ▒ Electronic Mail
│
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
### From Subject Date
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1 Zip Test 1 07/31/21
2 Zip Test 2 07/31/21
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[■] You have 2 messages (2 unread). Read them now? Yes No
Selecting Yes.
It displays:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ▒ Message Index Listing Local BBS E-mail
│
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
## Subject From To
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── N

N 6 Test 2 Zip Zip
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
(Arrows) Move (ESC) Quit (ENTER) Read (G) Goto Next Base (?) Help
...which is fine.
Scrolling down to "Test 2".
Hitting Enter to read it.
Escaping with Esc.
Calling (C)heck for E-mail again.
It displays:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ▒ Electronic Mail
│
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
### From Subject Date
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[■] You have 2 messages (1 unread). Read them now? Yes No
...i.e. the same error as on my main board.
For the record, (V)iew Outbound E-mail displays:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ▒ Message Index Listing Local BBS E-mail
│
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
## Subject From To
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── N
5 Test 1 Zip Zip
N 6 Test 2 Zip Zip
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
...which is fine.
So there appears to be something -- perhaps only on Linux? -- affecting what MC
/UNREAD displays when checking for e-mail/prompting the user...
Best regards
Björn
P.S. I see that in the default installation, "Local BBS E-mail" is hidden from
the "Default Message Group" using a List ACS of "%". To distinguish it from
other, "conventional" message bases and to force e-mail usage via only (C)heck
for E-mail and (V)iew Outbound E-mail, I guess. But is there really any harm in
letting it be included (and displayed) in the Default Message Group? Apart from
it not being that "exclusive" any longer? Will it break in some way if one
(P)osts a Message to that e-mail base? Just curious if there are other
differences deep down inside Mystic. And if I perhaps should revert to List ACS
"%" just to be on the safe side. :) D.S.
