Any alpha-char command or entering a message number will exit thread view
mode. If the entire thread fits on the screen, then the arrow keys can be used
to move about the thread (up, down, left, and right). The old thread-ID keys
( and ) still work, but a little differently. And while in Thread View  Mode,
ENTER  and - keys now move forward and backward by thread.

I meant to do this a long time ago and really should have (all the underlying
thread support was there). It really highlights all the network nodes that
don't support REPLY-IDs. :-(

Version 1.17 beta 16: Used js.gc(true) to force garbage collection at the beginning of the sub-board scan loops to ensure enough memory is available to continue doing the newscan.  This solved an issue where a "malloc failed" error was being returned.  I just saw that for the first time when doing a newscan with my reader today.

Version 1.17 beta 15: When deleting a message, any vote response messages that may exist for that message are also deleted.  Also, added a check in the GetMsgIdx() method that should (hopefully) avoid a 'msgNum not a number' error (as reported by Ragnarok).

Also, the 'access' argument is now being passed as a signed long rather than
unsigned long. Status/return values are often passed in here (e.g. from smblib)
and may be negative. This argument was being displayed with %ld but wasn't
being passed in as a signed value, so on 64-bit long systems, negative numbers
were just printed as large (4M+) numbers.
Also, no need to call getfname() in errormsg() since this is embedded in the
WHERE macro (since 2009).

SPAMMERS insert these either intentionally or mistakenly and they can defeat
security checks (like mailauth.js).

Version 1.17 beta 14: Fixed a UI issue when displaying voting errors in the scrolling reader interface.

GCC (worked fine in MSVC) :-(

Set smb.last_error strings in new voting/polling functions on failure.

- There was a bug in the first implementation that would cause subsequent
  connections from a non-exempt IP address to be rejected: client_on() is
  called multiple times for a single connection - oops.
- Successfully logged in clients are now *not* counted against the concurrent
  connection limit. This way if a node hangs, the user at that IP can still
  connect/login to another node. The client has to be fully logged-in to be
  excluded from the connection count.

Version 1.17 beta 13: For poll votes, added the voters' date & time (not just the voter's name) to the message body when appending the names of people who voted on polls.  Makes use of the PollVoteNotice (787) line from text.dat.

Also, part of the IPv6 stuff, the sbbs.ini [Mail] "Interface" key was changed
to "SMTPInterface", only nothing ever wrote to this key (including
sbbs_write_ini() defined in this *same* file). Changing this back to just
"Interface" as it was before.

Version 1.17 beta 12 - Bug fix for one of the methods: Now correctly returns 0 when there are no readable messages in the sub-board (messages with null headers or ones that are marked as deleted, unvalidated, etc.).  This would affect, among other things, listing messages in the sub-board.
