(Argus and Mystic's BinkP mailers don't support encryption).

If you're not using BinkIT (you're using some other FidoNet mailer), you can
safely ignore all the settings/options.
A lot of the online help for the new settings/menus needs to be written
still and the wiki now needs a lot of update to reflect the changes.
The "title" of this program was changed, again, from "SBBSecho Config" to
"[Synchronet] FidoNet Config" since it configures more than just SBBSecho
now.

as one would expect (paste inserts instead of over-writes).
Enabled cut (Ctrl-X) item support too.

(helpful in determining proper BSO directory for an "othernet" zone).

- Expose the node's "name" property to be edited
- Expose the node's "areafix support" property to be toggled
- Renamed "AreaFix Keys" to "EchoList" keys (these are keys to EchoLists)
- Display the node number's 8-char hexadecimal value, helpful for filename
  mapping

EchoCfg->NetMail Settings:
- New optino: Ignore NetMail 'KillSent' Attribute
  when set, sent netmails with the "KillSent" flag won't be deleted by SBBSecho

EchoCfg->EchoLists:
- The name (destination) of forwarded AreaFix requests is now configurable
  (no longer hard-coded to "AreaFix")

Enforce the SM_DELREADM option.
Use smb_storage_mode().

Most of the changes are in EchoCfg:
- SBBSecho and EchoCfg will now maintain auto-backups of the sbbsecho.ini file
- AutoAddSubs now defaults to true/enabled: this setting is harmless without
  further configuring linked nodes (Uplink for Groups / GroupHub)
- Global Settings are now a separate sub-menu in EchoCfg
- EchoCfg remembers current selection on (more) sub-menus
- Sub-menus have been rearranged and resized
- Numerous Online Help text updates in EchoCfg
- Adding missing/new settings to EchoCfg:
  Log Timestamp Format
  Strict Packet Passwords
  Use FTN Domain/Zone Map
  BSY Mutex File Timeout
  BSO Lock Attempt Delay
  BSO Lock Attempt Limit
  Config File Backups
  Linked Nodes->Uplink for Message Groups
  Echo Statistics File
  Outgoing Semaphore File
  Automatically Add New Subs to Area File
  Maximum Backups to Maintain of Area File
  Relay Filtered Messages
  (everything you can set in sbbsecho.ini should now be editable via EchoCfg)

echocfg, and SBBSecho (for AreaFix management of the pwd). SBBSecho doesn't
use the password itself, but it allows it to be managed via the %TICPWD AreaFix
command. EchoCfg will read the (new) TicFilePwd key from the node sections
of the sbbsecho.ini and allow them to be modified/saved. Max TicFilePwd length
is 8 chars (same as Packet Passwords).

try this option.

Added Cut (Ctrl-X) support.
Fixed bug whereby Paste Item was available when nothing had been copied.
Stil ToDo: allow paste into extra/blank item.

EchoList Key -> AreaFix Keys

that contains wildcards ("ALL") - prevents misconfiguration. Fileboxes are not
for multiple-nodes (one node per in/outbox only).

- SBBSecho will now maintain a file called the Bad Area File
  (default name is data/badarea.lst), in BACKBONE.NA format
- This file is suitable for importing in SCFG->Message Areas now, but expect
  some automation in the near future
- To get area descriptions (not just echo tags) in the Bad Area File, be sure
  to configure at least one "Additional EchoList" to point a comprehensive echo
  list (e.g. BACKBONE.NA or similar)
- SBBSecho will automatically add new areas (when new messages are received for
  msg areas you don't carry) or remove areas that you start to carry - no sysop
  maintenance of this file should be needed. And the file does not have to be
  deleted after being imported (e.g. with SCFG).
- SBBSecho does not (and may never) actually modify your Synchronet Message
  Areas configuration directly, that is yet to be determined

Another new feature: Area File (areas.bbs) backups:
- Whenever the Area File is modified via AreaFix, the current file is backed
  up  (e.g. areas.0.bbs, etc.)
- This feature can be tweaked or disabled via the AreaFileBackups key in
  sbbsecho.ini (not yet in echocfg), default backup level is 100

* Numerous EchoCfg help text updates.
* Some minor terminology updates (e.g. AREAS.BBS->areas.bbs, Areafix->AreaFix).
* Incremented SBBSecho version from 3.00 to 3.01.

attribute for netmail (both *.msg and in the mail base). This option should
*not* be used when the DeleteNetmail option is enabled (set to 'Yes').
A warning will be logged in this configuration as dupe netmail msgs may be
sent in that case.

For packet creation, the only difference (from Type-2+) is with packets created
from point nodes: the origNet field won't be set to 0xffff (as is the case with
FSC-48, Type-2+ packets). The auxNet field is now always set to the originating
net (ala Squish) when configured for Type-2+ packet generation.
When importing Type-2e (FSC-39) packets, the detected/logged packet type may be
reported as "2e" for valid "2+" packets. This is normal and expected when the
originating node is not a point and the auxNet field is 0.
The second set of orig/dest zone fields in a type 2e/2+ pkt header will
now be used when importing if the old/QM orig/dest zone fields are 0.
Also, the originating point field may now be imported even if the auxNet field
is not used (origNet != 0xffff).

New umask sbbsecho.ini configuration option (global), maybe used to over-ride
the default *nix file creation mode mask (077), similar to sbbs.ini.

Back out echocfg.c changes.

With this option enabled, zone/domain mappings from ctrl/ftn_domains.ini are
used to get the outbound directory name, and the orig/dest domains for type
2.2 packets.

This allows supporting 5D addressing in sbbsecho when zones do no overlap
between domains (the normal case).

toggle "EchomailNotify" setting in sbbsecho.ini.
Also changed "NetMail Options" menu to "NetMail Settings" and "EchoMail
Options" to "EchoMail Settings".

- If you are upgrading from SBBSecho v2.x, run "jsexec sbbsecho_upgrade.js"
  to convert your ctrl/sbbsecho.cfg to the new ctrl/sbbsecho.ini.
- Major code overhaul/re-write/modernization
- ArcMail/Attach/FD mode NOT TESTED: beware if you're using this style mailer!
- New features:
+ Easier to manage configuration file (sbbsecho.ini)
+ Multiple sysop aliases supported (for receiving netmail)
+ Mutual-exclusion-lock file (ctrl/sbbsecho.bsy) to prevent accidental
   concurrent invocations of SBBSecho
+ FileBoxes (optional inbox and outbox per node, only in BSO mode)
+ EchoList 4-char "flags" are now 25-char "keys" and much easier to deal with
+ Maximum msg age configurable for NetMail and EchoMail (separately)
+ Configurable "Area Manager" user name (default: SYSOP)
+ Configurable "Default Recipient" for netmail (default: SYSOP)
+ Far fewer command-line options, more settings in EchoCfg
+ Old command-lines will still work, but most of the legacy options are just
   ignored now. Run "sbbsecho -?" for command-line syntax and options.
Other improvements:
+ All Fido kludes, including PATH and SEEN-BY lines are stored in the
   Synchronet Message Base, always (can't be disabled)
+ Better security for inbound EchoMail (passwords are always enforced)
+ More comprehensive log output (the log output is more of a priority than the
  console output now)
+ Increased accuracy for recipient user name/alias matching
+ Higher-level of uniqueness to generated packet filenames
+ All temporary files (e.g. packets in process) are created in an
   SBBSecho-specific temporary file directory
+ No longer auto-terminates when any local key is pressed: use Ctrl-C/Break
   instead to initiate a graceful premature termination
+ Much more help text in echocfg
+ Better organization of settings in echocfg
+ Optional per-node "comments" for use in echocfg->Linked Nodes

signedness

(or by adding NOCIRCULARFWD to your sbbsecho.cfg):
When "Circular Path Detection" is enabled (the default), the old behavior was
to still forward the message to any links (if there are any), but not import
the circular/looped message (likely a dupe). Now, if you set this new option
to no (or add "NOCIRCULARFWD" to your sbbsecho.cfg), the message will be
completely ignored and not fowarded to any links (if there are any).
If you have no downlinks or you have circular path detection disabled, this
new option does nothing. The default is the old behavior (forward circular
messages).
Also updated the Toggle Options help text in echocfg (many options weren't
documented.

file. Previously, any threshold set by manually editing the .cfg file would be
lost when saving changes using echocfg.

requested by Joe (1:249/303), Wilfred (2:280/464) and Michiel (2:280/5555) for
their little 3-node inter-zonal FTN:
"Zone Blind" option (enabled in echofg->Toggle Options or by adding a line
containing the string "ZONE_BLIND" to the sbbsecho.cfg file). This option
causes zones to be ignored (back to the 2D addresses of the 80s) when parsing
and generating SEEN-BY and PATH kludge lines in echomail messages.
Incremented version to 2.23.

memcpy calls and explicit setting of fields to 0) - this code is just bad.
The only functional change should be that the SBBSecho product code (0x12FF)
and major/minor version number is now added to headers of type 2+ packets
generated by SBBSecho. Type 2 and 2.2 packets will have just 0xff for the
product code and the SBBSecho major version number in the product "serial
number" field (as is the common practice). I guess everyone's using type 2+
packets these days? You don't get 5D addresses with 2+, but SBBSecho doesn't
really do anything with 5D addresses anyway. <shrug>
