Hello DM,

I've found a minor (but cosmetically aggravating) typo in the /sbbs/text/system.msg file. The "Email" and "Feedback" lines have
their fields left-justified, but it doesn't work and results in the
"Today" field for both lines being improperly aligned.

The issue is the use of the "-" just before the "L" in these lines,
because the @-codes there take an argument preceded by a colon, and
the "|" symbol should be used instead of the "-", as indicated on the
Wiki: http://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodes#format_modifiers in the Exceptions section.

I know this is a minor thing but the use of the "|" character makes it
display properly. Many folks modify this file (as I have), but wish
to keep using those "stats" lines. Maybe you could make the "stock"
file reflect this change. Thanks!

Good catch. I've been looking at that too but could never figure out why that was happening.

I changed the - to a | and now it looks the way it should, thanks.

Ttyl :-),
