  • Twit Filter/Message Area Index Bug

    From Scarecrow@21:4/111 to All on Thursday, September 12, 2019 20:41:24
    I've noticed that if there are any multi-word entries (Joe User, Tom Cat,
    etc) in the twit list, the Message Area Index (MI command) breaks. From what
    I can tell if a message area contains a message authored by a multi-word name on the twit list, none of the area's messages are accessible, regardless of
    the author, via the Message Area Index. Using the standard Read Messages command all works as expected with the listed user's messages being blocked, all other messages available as usual. Single-word user names on the list
    work fine in all cases.

    Might need to replace spaces with underscores. I know some things in Mystic require that, like the MW command with options.

    Gave it a shot, but doesn't make a difference in this instance. Since the issue appears in the MI command and not in the MR command, I suspect it's something to do with the way the Message Index interprets the twit list.

    Have you tried putting the multi-worded alias inside quotes?
