I was curious about everyone adds taglines to their messages? I seem to recall them back in the 90's when I was here before but havent see any option for them. care to shed some light on how to do that?
I checked with g00r00 as I could not remember it all (and plan to add this to the Mystic Wiki)
You create a data file like taglines.txt in your DATA directory.
Each line in the txt file has a tagline phrase on it.
e.g.
A billion dollars isn't what it used to be. - Nelson Bunker Hunt
A bird in the hand is safer than one overhead..
A bird in the hand is the best way to eat chicken.
Then in your Mystic message base you replace the text in your Origin field
with @RANDOM=taglines.txt
You can also include a path name there too but if not it defaults to the DATA directory.
This will cause Mystic to choose a random entry from the taglines.txt file
and add it to your outgoing echomail posts for that message base.
Hope that helps..
I will add this to the Wiki and cross post it now to FSX_MYS
Best, Paul
