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.

'/V' also works to scan all subs in all groups for polls to view/vote-in.

backfill() method. 2 new attr.cfg fields allow the progress indicator colors to
be configured separately from poll results (though they default to the same
white on magenta). This new progress indicator is used when loading msg ptrs
and scanning for votes. I will be using it while performing other searches
(e.g. file libraries/dirs) as well.

Added new default shell main menu command: 'V' (view/vote-in polls)
'/V' also works to scan all subs in all groups for polls to view/vote-in.
This new scan mode is not exposed to PCMS/Baja, just JS, so using a small
script (scanpolls.js) to invoke this.

Introduced a better progress indicator (similar to poll results), using the
backfill() method. 2 new attr.cfg fields allow the progress indicator colors to

Version 1.17 beta 10: Now the results of a poll vote are refreshed on the screen after the user submits a poll vote.  Also, fixed a bug in setting the user's vote for a poll.

sub-boards (that are not gated to QWKnet).

Version 1.17 beta 9: Added initial support for voting on poll messages (in addition to up/downvoting).

Version 1.17 beta 8: Fixed a bug when getting the last-read message index after filtering out deleted messages (or any messages that are not readable due to not being verified, etc.).  Also, for voting, updated it to check whether the user has voted on the message before showing the vote prompt (thanks to echicken for describing how to check that).

accounts. For the longest time, if a Q-restricted (QWKnet node) user had Ctrl-A
codes set to "Leave-in", it would automatically set "No Index",
"No Control Files", "All Email", "Delete Email". But since we can't really
assume that all Q-resricted accounts are Synchronet systems, we're no longer
going to make these assumptions and over-ride what the user has set.

Version 1.17 beta 7: Improved the voting input for the scrolling reader mode so that it doesn't have to refresh the whole screen when the voting process is done.  Also, fixed a bug in error output for voting in the traditional (non-scrolling) reader interface.

Version 1.17 beta 5: Added hotkeys to view vote results for a message (T) and vote on a message (V).  The vote-on-message functionality is still not implemented (when a function for doing that becomes available in Synchronet JavaScript, I will add it).

on that msg offset will fail (since include_votes is false, the default).

Version 1.17 beta 4: Bug fix - When going to the next area after reading the last message, it was showing empty messages.  This seems to be fixed now.

'from' fields were > 127 chars in length. Now using smb_init_idx() since it
does the "right thing".

The duplicates aren't removed from the header file, just not indexed.

header records (index with the same message number points to a different
message header).

Incremented smblib version 2.60 (to indicate all the recent changes).

If the msg->offset is 0, we must call smb_getmsgidx() to find its offset,
otherwise smb_putmsg() which calls smb_putmsgidx() will overwrite the index
of the first message.

- Include VOTING.DAT File   (Yes)
- Include HEADERS.DAT File   (Yes)
- Extended (QWKE) Packets    (No)
- Exported Ctrl-A Codes    (Strip)

SBBS/QWKnet nodes now have more control over the REP packet files created
by their systems. If the "uplink" (hub) is complaining about receiving
unsupported files (e.g. VOTING.DAT) or kluge lines (e.g. @TZ), just turn them
off.

Also, Ctrl-A codes may now be retained in QWKnetmail. And the @REPLYTO kludge
line enabled for the first time (!).
