    Yes the Tagline I was remembering would be below your signature but above the ---mystic bbs etc line..

    The messages earlier were random origin lines. I do not have tag lines in Mystic's editor but it is something I can add relatively easily.

    Thank you, I am not sure why but I would love to see it implemented.

    Yes, sorry about that I led you down a slightly different path with my Origin reply :)

    I would vote for that, some text file you can configure Mystic look at, and some setting you can enable/disable that would either prompt you to choose
    from that list upon trying to save the echomail or just choose a random one from the list and include it at the bottom of the post prior to the tearline.

    I see this feature as a 'nice to have'

    Should the list be SysOp or user defined?

    Hello g00r00,

    I like the idea of a tagline file too, although I haven'y used one lately.

    MBSE does this very well. There is a global tagline file that users on the BBS can view and add to if they want.

    When saving a message the user gets choices to randomly select a tagline, page through the taglines or save the message without a tagline.

    Ttyl :-),

    Perhaps you could make it just read from a text file, then if someone
    chose to make a rumor mod or something, they could use the same text
    file.

    So, taglines could be rumors, or just defined by the sysop, depending
    on what the sysop wanted.

    Just a suggestion :)

    I've always felt this sort of "nagging" whenever posting a message was
    annoying back in the day which is probably a lot of the motivation as to why
    I never added it into Mystic.

    But I do realize others like it so I need to find some common ground where
    this isn't intrusive but also not convoluted in that I need to add 34953480
    new options just to add taglines.

    Hello g00r00,

    to why I never added it into Mystic.

    I agree, some may not want the feature. In my golded editor it's off by default
    but easy to add the three needed keywords to enable it.

    Although it makes more work for someone (you, in this case) adding the ability to use taglines, it's best left off unless a user enables it either from the user settings menu or perhaps settings available in the editor.

    That might make Mystic, well, big ;)
