I took a look at this but success has been limited so far. Where I tripped up was the Mystic display codes require a two digit number, so
saying "Fill until column 131" doesn't work. I can probably re-work things to not rely on those display codes - haven't had a chance to tr
that yet (I was hoping the simple approach would work, lol).

I was trying to tweak the indexed message reader - is that what you di

Upgrade to the latest Mystic, it'll let you use 3 char position codes so widescreen will work better for you there.

In my limited spare time I've made some progress on this - it's mostly good, except I haven't worked out how to adjust the width of the message list (ie, space out Subject, To, From). I suspect it has to do with the legacy screen codes. I tweaked them to make the screen longer, but can't work out how to make it wider :-( Making the surrounding screen elements was obviously as easy as adjusting the .ans file - it's just the dynamic contents I'm stuck on.

I started looking at the old Mystic source from way back, but sleep time caught up with me before I found any answers (if indeed there are answers to be had in code that old).

A quick Google didn't shed any light on it either.

Amazing what a fresh look the next day can achieve. I found reference to "Prompt Information Codes", which matched what I was seeing in the source. That led me to the theme.ini file, which initially didn't help, but that led me to a "prompt editor" which I wasn't familiar with, but found in the Mystic config tool.

Adjusting prompt #399 seems to have done the business. Initially it didn't, but figured I'd log off and back on just in case it only read the change during login, and away it went!

After all this, it created a new prompts.txt file in my theme directory that had my change in it (overriding the default).
