Hey Nelgin,
This message is winging its way to you
from my BBC Micro in the adapted Mode 7msglist.js, I'm having trouble chaning the "from" column width, I have changedthe number for From and To in the max_len section of msglist.js however
it only seems to change the to
column...meaning that on a 40 column
display you cannot see the subject
(even pressing the different format
options 0-7 will not display the
subject). I'd like to reduce each to 10columns so that the subject can also beviewed. I can get it to display to andfrom on one line and the then subject
underneath...but this looks a little
messy.
There's a picture of what I have at themoment at beebs.ddns.net/images/sync/msglist.png as you can see From is takingup a lot of real estate!
Any thoughts welcome,
Cheers,
Fred

Well, it's a good start, though the 40 to 80 column might need a bit of work :)

It looks like setting LEN_ALIAS = 15 or something like that will do what you are wanting. Not sure if that's because max_len isn't working as intended or doing something else.

Try setting LEN_ALIAS are sbbsdefs.js has been loaded and see if that gets you closer to what you're looking for.
