Hello all, this is my first time trying out this weird style of BBS. I'm used to forum style from a decade or two ago, so I'm pretty confused on how to navigate this place. Is there documentation on how things are grouped together? Right now it seems to be rooms each with a couple forum posts that stretch on for ages and switch topics midway through.
No one is perfect. We all tend to stray OT in a room.

Each room has a topic, and the conversation in each room is linear. Instead of keeping track of threads, you just follow along like a regular conversation.
The next time you return to a room, it will remember where you were last time so you can catch up.
So it's simpler than you might have expected. People who are accustomed to it really love it.

So it can be circumscribed: The problem occurs using mail clients like
Thunderbird or K-9 Mail for writing and sending emails via SMTP.
You are absolutely correct, and I am now able to reproduce the problem. When an external SMTP agent submits a message with the message ID in angle brackets, the bracket on the right is not properly stripped.
What an excellent troubleshoot and bug report. We'll get this fixed right away.

...and right away is now. Citadel 999 is now available for download, in both Docker and Easy Install formats.
I guess the next release is going to have to be something really special since it'll be version 1000 :)

I would like to thank you very much for the quick and professional support!
Some large software companies could take a role model here.
It's great if CalDAV would be included in Citadel. I use it with separate software, which i could quit.
For implementing the update: Is it possible to reinstall the easy install routine on a running raspberry, if citserver and webcit are stopped, without loosing the mail configuration and the content of the IMAP mail boxes? Or is the clean way a fresh installation of the whole system?

Yes, if you originally installed Citadel using the Easy Install method, you can run Easy Install again at any time to upgrade. Your existing data will be preserved.
Obviously you're going to take a backup first, of course.

I must have missed that in previous talks. Tks.
How well will it resize to phones? We all know, for better or worse, that is what our new users will be using.

The intention for mobile is for it to behave like most other software does: when on a small screen, the sidebar is collapsed into a hamburger menu until you need it.
I am frustrated by the fact that we can't release little bits of this into production until it's finished, and I'm aware that this is the reason you're never supposed to start over (i.e. the Netscape effect -- although I still believe that Netscape failed because of hubris). I still stand by the decision though, because WebCit-classic has some very fundamental problems stemming from design decisions made more than 25 years ago.
We're also changing the fundamental approach of the user interface. Elements which made sense in 1996 when it was just a web version of a BBS client don't make sense today. Although it will still use the same Citadel Server, the user-facing experience will be a set of applications that all work together in a common framework. This is more in line with what the public expects in the current era.

But, sometimes its the only way.

Both company servers, which rejected my SMTP written mails in version 998, accept it now with version 999.
Well done, succes across the board!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for using Citadel, and spread the word.
Hello All,
2 Questions, how do you search in these rooms to acoid repeating questions?
Any recommendations on SMART Hosts that is no google so that the sender appears under my domain and not the External SMTP Servers Domain?
