so i've replaced my at-login email newscan with MQ, and it works
perfectly to bo th show new emails and echomail for the user in a nice way.
my only problem is it seems to display every scan area and then back up and over write each one, before finally getting to my "read your stuff?" prompt. (or if t here's no messages, just a pause prompt). not really a
You could blank out the prompt but there are lots of other options built in to change the way the MQ command works. Here's a paste from
http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=menu_commands#message_bases. If your case maybe /NOSCAN will do the trick for you.
Data: None /CURRENT /GROUP /LIST /NEW /YOU /NOFOOT /NOSCAN /NOFROM /NOREAD
Performs a scan of all message bases, listing message statistics similar to those
found in the index reader. By default scanning will be done to all bases in all
groups.
If /CURRENT is supplied, scanning will be done only to the current message base
If /GROUP is supplied, scanning will be done only to bases in the current group
If /LIST is supplied, the scan will also list messages found which can be combined
with other options to limit what is listed.
If /NEW is supplied only bases with new messages will be shown.
If /YOU is supplied only bases with message to/from you will be shown.
If /NOFROM is supplied Mystic will exclude messages posted by you.
If /NOREAD is supplied Mystic will exlucde messages to the user that have already
been read.
If /NOSCAN is supplied, Mystic will not show the "scanning" prompt when calculating
If /NOFOOT is supplied, Mystic will not show the "footer" prompt
