Version 1.26: Fixes a bug that was causing some of the message vote tally information to be displayed as "undefined"

Version 1.25: Added the ability to search for message groups and sub-boards when changing to another sub-board. Search can be started with the / key or CTRL-F (Find). Also, in lightbar mode, the N key can be used to highlight the next match in the list.

Version 1.24: When making a private reply on local email, an error is now outputted if the recipient's user number is not found.  Also, fixed an 'undefined' bug that happened when searching for messages sometimes.

Version 1.23: If a message is in UTF-8 format and the user's terminal doesn't support UTF-8, the message text will be converted to CP437.  Also, if there is a color/attribute code in the message before the message text and there are no other color/attribute codes, the color/attribute codes will be removed so  that the entire message isn't colored

Version 1.22: If the message score is 0, with upvotes and total_votes both 0, then don't show the score when using the default header ANSI.  This is what was intended, but the 0 score started showing up in more recent builds of Synchronet.

Version 1.21: Uses require() instead of load() to load the required .js libraries, if the require() function is defined (it was added in Synchronet 3.17).  This avoids 'multiple definition' errors with the latest .js libarries & Synchronet binaries.

Added configurable options for the message score colors for the message list: msgListScoreColor, msgListToUserScoreColor, msgListFromUserScoreColor, and msgListScoreHighlightColor.  Incremented version to 1.20.

Version 1.19: If the terminal size is wide enough (at least 86 characters), the overall vote scores for the messages  is now displayed in the message list.  Also, fixed a bug introduced in the previous version where the vote scores were no longer being displayed when reading a message.  It's no longer using MsgBase.get_index() and uses get_all_msg_headers(), as before, since that's what is required for message tallies to be included in the message headers.

Made use of the new MsgBase.get_index() function (if available) for better performance.  Added 'undefined' checks for some of the messaeg attribute definitions before adding them to the attribute strings, since some of them have changed.  Updated the version to 1.18.

Removed the 'beta' status from the version to (1.17), now that Synchronet 3.17b has been officially released.

Version 1.17 beta 63: Just before showing the message list or changing to another message area from the reader interface, it now writes "Loading..." in case there are a very large number of messages or sub-boards.

Version 1.17 beta 62: Made another fix to avoid the "Unknown destination" error when forwarding a message to a QWK-style address (such as "sysop@DIGDIST")

Version 1.17 beta 61: Fixed a bug where it would report an "unknown destination" error when trying to forward a message to a FTN-style email address.

Version 1.17 beta 60:  When a non-sysop is reading anonymous posts, the  "from" name is now shown as "Anonymous".

Version 1.17 beta 59: When submitting a vote, the thread_id field is now set to the message/poll's message ID, not the message number.

Version 1.17 beta 57: Made a fix for voting input - It wasn't accepting Q to quit out of voting (a blank input worked though).

Version 1.17 beta 56: When replying to a message, the reader will now strip any control characters that might be in the subject line.

Version 1.17 beta 55: Added the new @-code MSG_FROM_AND_FROM_NET and MSG_FROM_AND_FROM_NET-L (for left-justification with field length), which shows the 'from' name with the from network in parenthesis.  Updated the default message header to show that information.

Version 1.17 beta 54: Added a new configuration option, rightJustifyAvatars, which can be used to specify whether to right-justify avatars.  Valid values are true and false (false means left-justify).

Version 1.17 beta 53: Added support for displaying user avatars for the sender of a message, recently added to Synchronet.  Added the configuration option displayAvatars to toggle this feature.  For this to work, you will need to updaet your .js files in sbbs\exec and sbbs\exec\load.  This version of DDMsgReader specifically loads smbdefs.js and avatar_lib.js.

Version 1.17 beta 52 - Bug fix: When using the scrolling interface to read a message, any message color codes that might appear in the message lines are preserved across lines.

Version 1.17 beta 51: Updated the definitions of the KEY_PAGE_UP and KEY_PAGE_DOWN veriables to match what they are in sbbsdefs.js (if defined) from December 18, 2017 so that the PageUp and PageDown keys continue to work properly.  This script should still also work with older builds of Synchronet.

Version 1.17 beta 50 - Fixed a bug introduced in beta 49 where it was no longer displaying vote stats (such as up/downvotes) for a message.  Now, it gets a message header with expanded headers again (like it did before) for viewing a message, and when applying the MSG_READ attribute (when a user reads a message to them), it gets a header without expanded headers to apply MSG_READ and save it.

Version 1.17 beta 49: Fixed a bug when marking messages as 'read' when the user reads messages that were written to them - It was getting an 'expanded headers' error with recent builds (on/after December 1, 2017).  A similar error used to happen occasionally but not all the time.

Version 1.17 beta 48 - Bug fix: When listing messages in reverse order in lightbar mode and all messages are selected/de-selected, the checkmarks on the screen now update properly.  Also, updated so that when listing personal email, it will use the regular formatting colors rather than the colors for messages to the user, since all personal emails are to the user (the 'to user' colors for each email might be obnoxious).

Version 1.17 beta 47: Updated to set the message  number field length dynamically based on the number of messages in the sub-board.  It will be at least 4 but can be more than 4 if there are 10000 messages or more  in a sub-board.  Also, updated to not hold an open sub-board for a long period of time - It now opens a sub-board only when necessary.  This simplified the code a bit.  I also hoped it would fix issues I've seen where sbbs crashes sometimes when replying to a message, but it looks like it did not fix that.

Version 1.17 beta 46: When inputting multiple vote options from the user, it now restricts input to just numbers and commas.  Also, updated the close-poll behavior so that only the poll creator can close the poll (removed the sysop).

Version 1.17 beta 45: Made use of the new Msgbase.close_poll() method to close a poll.  Requires the August 19, 2017 or newer build of Synchronet 3.17.

Version 1.17 beta 44: Added support for users to close polls (only if they created the poll or if they're the sysop).  I ended up using the ! key for that, since many other keys were already taken.  Also, renamed "Read Me.txt" and "Revision history.txt" so they don't have spaces in the filenames.

Updated to support multi-answer polls.  Requires a Synchronet 3.17 build from August 14, 2017 or newer.
Next, I want to add a command to close a poll (would only work for the person who created the poll or the sysop).

Version 1.17 beta 42: When showing tally information for messages with upvotes & downvotes, it now shows who voted on the message (for sysops only).

Version 1.17 beta 41: Bug fix - When submitting an upvote/downvote on a message using the scrollable interface, it was automatically moving to the next message.  Now it stays at the same message and refreshes the screen so that the updated vote count for the message can be seen.

Version 1.17 beta 40: When doing a message search (by text, from name, etc.), now it does not update the last-read & scan pointers.  This way, when the user lists/reads messages in a sub-board as usual, the user will still be where they left off.

Version 1.17 beta 39: Made an adjustment for ANSI content detection for when to convert to Synchronet codes to make the message look okay in ANSI scrolling mode
