  • Message Variables (@-codes)

    From Fang-Castro@VERT/FTPBBS to All on Wed Aug 19 17:55:13 2020
    I've noticed some of the formatting doesn't work with certain variables. I replaced the @ symbol below with (at) just incase.

    (at)MAILW:0-L.....(at) (at)MAILW:1-L.....(at)

    ^ these two don't work like:
    (at)TUSER-L.......(at)
    (at)STATS.LOGONS-L(at)

    this is the from system.msg file. 'today' doesn't line up like the rest of them.

    Try using the | modifier separator instead of '-'. From http://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodes :
    When using the hyphen (-) modifier separator, only one format modifier may be used per @-code instance (you cannot combine format modifiers) and @-code arguments (separated from the code with a colon) are not supported.

    When using the pipe (|) modifier separator, some modifiers may be combined with others (e.g. |TR) and @-code arguments (separated from the code with a colon) are supported.
