Running linux version 3.17c, and noticing something odd if I do message scan for message to myself. Main Menu 'S'.
I'll choose to scan all groups, display subjext only, display unread messages only and it will find and display 3 message subject lines in this group to me.
If I do the scan but say N to display subjects only, I will get no results at all. I guess I thought the system might display the entire message, but the scan doesn't seem to 'hit' on these messages unless I answer Y to the display subjects only prompt.

Is this odd behavior or am I understanding the purpose of the 'display subject only' question?

It should. Or at least it's supposed to.
The "Display subjects only" prompt should do just that, only display the message to/from/subject details and not the entire message header and body text. Of course there is quite a different execution path when scanning/displaying only subjects like that, so it wouldn't surprise me if there was a bug or difference in behavior, but I'm not seeing one.

Always answering Yes to display Unread messages only.

It did this time. sort of. When loggin in and performing the scan automatically, I answered No to display subjects only, and your reply in the FIDO-Net conference displayed the entire message. The same message in DOVE-Net did not display.

So, I found that all interesting. Could it be the way I have DOVE-Net conference configured, or is there some sort of duplicate thing happening here that the system 'thinks' it has displayed this message to me, even though it is in another conference?
whoah.. I just notice that the area for "Synchronet Sysops Only" isn't even showing in the listing when I scan and answer 'No' to the 'display subjects only' prompt. I had not noticed that detail before.
I am now also curious at the different counts at the right side margin. Those numbers appear to sometimes be different based on how I answer to scan, subject only or not. When displaying subjects only, I also see the conference/group number at the left column, but not when answering No to 'display subjects only'. Just observations.
I only mentioned this topic in the event it is an issue you think needs correcting.

Is that sub-board included in your "Your scan" config (&S from the main menu when using the default/classic shell)?

So, an area is turned off in the scan config, it will scan and display subject lines when I choose to display subject only, but if I chose to not display subjects only ( hence the entire message would display ) then it would not scan the area at all? (As shown in my previous email)

That'd be a bug, which should now be fixed. Thanks for being persistent and helping me to see what you're saying! :-)

very cool.
Thanks for stepping me through some things. I was totally overlooking the area in question was not enabled for a scan, but I just felt like something wasn't 'right' because I was getting what I perceived as different behavior based on how I answed to display subjects only or not.
I'm glad it ended up being something that could be tracked down and updated.
In the process of looking into your report, I also noticed that messages you post to yourself would not be listed in the your-message-scan, which was unexpected. That's also now fixed
Please try the latest and greatest and see if it's behaving more consistently for you. Thanks again,
