    From Geri Atricks@21:3/235 to All on Fri Mar 13 16:13:41 2026
    Ok, one issue that I'm finding with nodespy is that the information shown on the WFC screen does not include echo posts in the new messages counter the way that WWIV and VBBS does. I feel this is something that needs to seriously be fixed. Would be so nice to just be able to look at that screen and instantly know if there are new messages in the echoes for me to check out.

    you could try something like this:

    mq.mps placed in c:\mystic\themes\default\scripts (or other location):

    Begin
    MenuCmd('MQ', '/LIST');
    End.

    compile it with mplc -ALL (or directly)

    run mystic.exe (or ./mystic) with parameters:

    mystic -u<username> -p<password> -Xmq

    can save that as a batch file or a script in your path and it should just list new messages out and then exit. you can decide if you wanna bother reading anything ;)

    linux might be a little friendlier about you redirecting it like

    ./mystic -ubob -psomething -Xmq | mail -s "New messages" bob@mybbs.com

    if you wanted to put that in your crontab or something
