Most fields here should be fairly self-explanatory. The ones that might
usernum -- these are assigned sequentially, and NEVER REUSED. This is
important because it allows us to use this number in other data structures

- The screenwidth and screenheight fields are almost never used anymore. Back

ROOM RECORDS
------------
as message ID's first. To provide later downward compatability
all software should be written to IGNORE fields not currently defined.
- The type bytes currently defined are:
-
-BYTE Mnemonic Comments
-
-A Author Name of originator of message.
-B Big message This is a flag which indicates that the message is
- big, and Citadel is storing the body in a separate
- record. You will never see this field because the
- internal API handles it.
-D Destination Contains name of the system this message should
- be sent to, for mail routing (private mail only).
-E Exclusive ID A persistent alphanumeric Message ID used for
- network replication. When a message arrives that
- contains an Exclusive ID, any existing messages which
- contain the same Exclusive ID and are *older* than this
- message should be deleted. If there exist any messages
- with the same Exclusive ID that are *newer*, then this
- message should be dropped.
-F rFc822 address For Internet mail, this is the delivery address of the
- message author.
-H Human node name Human-readable name of system message originated on.
-I Original ID A 32-bit integer containing the message ID on the
- system the message *originated* on.
-M Message Text Normal ASCII, newlines seperated by CR's or LF's,
- null terminated as always.
-N Nodename Contains node name of system message originated on.
-O Room Room of origin.
-P Path Complete path of message, as in the UseNet news
- standard. A user should be able to send Internet mail
- to this path. (Note that your system name will not be
- tacked onto this until you're sending the message to
- someone else)
-R Recipient Only present in Mail messages.
-S Special field Only meaningful for messages being spooled over a
- network. Usually means that the message isn't really
- a message, but rather some other network function:
- -> "S" followed by "FILE" (followed by a null, of
- course) means that the message text is actually an
- IGnet/Open file transfer.
- -> "S" followed by "CANCEL" means that this message
- should be deleted from the local message base once
- it has been replicated to all network systems.
-T date/Time A 32-bit integer containing the date and time of
- the message in standard UNIX format (the number
- of seconds since January 1, 1970 GMT).
-U sUbject Optional. Developers may choose whether they wish to
- generate or display subject fields.
-Y carbon copY Optional, and only in Mail messages.
-0 Error This field is typically never found in a message on
- disk or in transit. Message scanning modules are
- expected to fill in this field when rejecting a message
- with an explanation as to what happened (virus found,
- message looks like spam, etc.)
