number (e.g. '1'), and the RX_BY_NUMBER mail server option was disabled, then
the mail would be rejected with "user unknown".
"name aliases" weren't effected by this.

Let's use /bin/sh as the default shell for *nix rather than for !(__unix__)

*cough* been there for almost a year now.

so you don't need to reload the content at any time.
This appears to have "fixed" the IE stuff, so add the <pre></pre> around
the body which IE needs since it apparently doesn't support
white-space: pre; in the CSS.

header and checking the If-Modified-Since header in code.
Speed up messages.xjs by only storing the header fileds we use rather than
the whole header.

parents.

Italics indicates that this message has unread replies
Bold incicates that this message itself is unread

sourcing in a <script> tag which doesn't generally work.

1)  Indicates if a message is unread according to the new scan pointers
2)  Indicates if any reply in the chain is unread
3)  Clean up the HTML a little
4)  Document the class hierarchy
5)  Add a login box (no, not a pop-up)
6)  Change the cursor to the "processing" cursor while loading stuff
7)  Make the groups a separate script so that they can be reloaded if the
    user changes
8)  Move the client-side javascript into a separate .xjs file
9)  Some style sheet cleanups
10) Ensure that some user is used... either "Guest" or the new login

Things I should be able to do fairly easily...

1) Have the new indication update dynamically so you can tell what you've
   already read
2) Update the new scan pointer when the user leaves the page
3) Add a reply button
4) Add moderation capabilities for the moderator
5) Add deletion support and a show delete messages option for operators
6) Also allow users to delete their own posts if allowed
7) Hook in the users email

What I can't/won't do

1) Work hard enough on the CSS to make it pretty
2) Make it look correct in IE (see #1)
3) Replace the current default system with it

#1 and #2 desparately need a web geek.

for it at the end of the line.

Prevent zero-length write()s in that case.

Use the infinately more correct toSource() method rather than the horrible
hand-rolled escape_quotes() function.

Also, add class info indicating if a message is new and if it contains
new replies.

Show total number of replies and newest reply date.

This works fine in everything but IE.

It may be a good idea for people who actually use the webserver to increase
this on their systems... I use 1000 on my system.

Move toggle JavaScript into separate file.

Make index.xjs be a thing with no output in and of itself, simply
xjs_load()ing the appropriate sub-script.

Use hdr.offset to fetch the message body to prevent an extra index search.
