+How "views" work in Citadel
+---------------------------
There's no need to be rigid and stupid about how different rooms are presented
in a Citadel client. And we don't enforce things either. But there's a need
to make things look the way the user wants to see them. For example, we might
always choose to see a room full of private mail as a summary (one line per
message) rather than always dumping out the entire contents like we do on a
-typical BBS room. An address book room might look better as a tabbed view
+typical message room. An address book room might look better as a tabbed view
or something, rather than as a bunch of messages with vCards attached to them.
This is why we define "views" for a room. It gives the client software a
needs to be a default, for users who have never visited the room before. This
is in the room record as room.QRdefaultview (and is also an integer).
+ In recent versions of Citadel, the view for a room also defines when and how
+it is indexed. For example, mailboxes and bulletin boards don't need to have
+an euid index, but address books and calendars do.

The values currently defined are:
-#define VIEW_BBS 0 /* Traditional Citadel BBS view */
+#define VIEW_BBS 0 /* Bulletin board view */
#define VIEW_MAILBOX 1 /* Mailbox summary */
#define VIEW_ADDRESSBOOK 2 /* Address book view */
#define VIEW_CALENDAR 3 /* Calendar view */
#define VIEW_TASKS 4 /* Tasks view */
#define VIEW_NOTES 5 /* Notes view */
+#define VIEW_WIKI 6 /* Wiki view */
