DDMsgReader.js

/* This is a message reader/lister door for Synchronet.  Features include:
 * - Listing messages in the user's current message area with the ability to
 *   navigate forwards & backwards through the list (and for ANSI users, a
 *   lightbar interface will be used, or optionally can be set to use a more
 *   traditional interface for ANSI users)
 * - The user can select a message from the list to read and optionally reply to
 * - For ANSI users, reading messages is done with an enhanced user interface,
 *   with the ability to scroll up & down through the message, move to the next
 *   or previous message using the right & left arrow keys, display the message
 *   list to choose another message to read, etc.
 * - The ability to start up with the message list or reading messages in the
 *   user's current message area (AKA sub-board)
 * - Message searching

 * Date       Author            Description
 * 2014-09-13 Eric Oulashin     Started (based on my message lister script)
 * ... Comments trimmed ...
 * 2022-03-14 Eric Oulashin     Version 1.47
 *                              Updated to make DDMsgReader can be called directly as a
 *                              loadable module by Synchronet (work started on March 8).
 *                              Also, refactored to use attr_conv.js and removed the
 *                              attribute conversion functions from this script.
 * 2022-03-23 Eric Oulashin     Version 1.47a
 *                              Now calls bbs.edit_msg() to edit an existing message (if
 *                              that function exists - It was added in Synchronet 3.18).
 * 2022-03-23 Eric Oulashin     Version 1.48
 *                              Improved display of ANSI messages via the use of the Graphic object

// TODO: In the message list, add the ability to search with / similar to my area chooser

/* Command-line arguments (in -arg=val format, or -arg format to enable an
   option):
   -search: A search type.  Available options:
            keyword_search: Do a keyword search in message subject/body text (current message area)
            from_name_search: 'From' name search (current message area)
            to_name_search: 'To' name search (current message area)
            to_user_search: To user search (current message area)

			new_msg_scan_cur_grp: New message scan (current message group only)
            new_msg_scan_cur_sub: New message scan (current sub-board only).  This
			                      can (optionally) be used with the -subBoard
								  command-line parameter, which specifies an internal
								  code for a sub-board, which may be different from
								  the user's currently selected sub-board.
			to_user_new_scan: Scan for new (unread) messages to the user (prompt
			                  for current sub-board, current group, or all)
			to_user_new_scan_all: Scan for new (unread) messages to the user
			                      (all sub-boards)
			to_user_new_scan_cur_grp: Scan for new (unread) messages to the user
			                          (current group)

			                          (current sub-board)
			to_user_all_scan: Scan for all messages to the user (prompt for current
			                  sub-board, current group, or all)
            prompt: Prompt the user for one of several search/scan options to
                    choose from
        Note that if the -personalEmail option is specified (to read personal
        email), the only valid search types are keyword_search and
        from_name_search.
   -suppressSearchTypeText: Disable the search type text that would appear
                            above searches or scans (such as "New To You
                            Message Scan", etc.)
   -startMode: Startup mode.  Available options:
               list (or lister): Message list mode
               read (or reader): Message read mode
   -configFilename: Specifies the name of the configuration file to use.
                    Defaults to DDMsgReader.cfg.
   -personalEmail: Read personal email to the user.  This is a true/false value.
                   It doesn't need to explicitly have a =true or =false afterward;
                   simply including -personalEmail will enable it.  If this is specified,
				   the -chooseAreaFirst and -subBoard options will be ignored.
   -personalEmailSent: Read personal email to the user.  This is a true/false
                       value.  It doesn't need to explicitly have a =true or =false
                       afterward; simply including -personalEmailSent will enable it.
   -allPersonalEmail: Read all personal email (to/from all)
   -userNum: Specify a user number (for the personal email options)
   -chooseAreaFirst: Display the message area chooser before reading/listing
                     messages.  This is a true/false value.  It doesn't need
                     to explicitly have a =true or =false afterward; simply
                     including -chooseAreaFirst will enable it.  If -personalEmail
					 or -subBoard is specified, then this option won't have any
                     effect.
	-subBoard: The sub-board (internal code or number) to read, other than the user's
               current sub-board. If this is specified, the -chooseAreaFirst option
			   will be ignored.
	-verboseLogging: Enable logging to the system log & node log.  Currently, there
	                 isn't much that will be logged, but more log messages could be
					 added in the future.
