    Use smb_msg_type() to include poll messages in total message count.

    Don't exclude polls form the message count used for max_msgs enforcement
    during maintenance.

    src/sbbs3/smbutil.c
    Log Message:
    Replace ESC chars with '.' when viewing messages, support '-<count>' with 'r'.

    When reading messages, circumvent ANSI-encoded messages by replacing the ESC character (ASCII 27) with '.'. This could be made an optional behavior if someone really wants ANSI-encoded messages to be read via smbutil.

    Also, allow continuous reading of 1 or more consecutive messages using the -<digit> option (no prompting).

    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/d84b8e3d6c917620ab0c8a3c
    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/smbutil.c
    Log Message:
    Indicate vote/poll messages and files (with details) when listing msgs/files

    Add '-v' (increase verbosity) option, used to display msg dates and timezones ... when using the the 'l' (list messages) command (to view post date/time). Use '-vv' or '-v -v' to see timezones of messages.

    The -v option is now also applicable to the 'v' (view) messages command (now redundant with the 'V' command).

    Features as requested by Nelgin as part of issue #786.

    Removed day-of-week from date/times displayed. We don't need that level of user-friendliness with this tool.
    However, we are also displaying 12h/am/pm times. Some sysops probably would prefer 24hour time, so that should be considered at some point.

    Log Message:
    NUL-terminate the SMB fileidxrec_t.name field, just in case

    The terminating NUL is actually part of the index record, but with file corruption, it's technically possible the NUL could be missing.

    Fixes CID 509554

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/smbutil.c
    Log Message:
    Fix index corruption resulting from packing an unmaintained msg base

    and filebase corruption.

    Bug was introduce in v3.19 with the filebase support:
    - we were assuming the newly packed (rebuilt) index had the same record offsets
    as the original/source index (if any records are skipped, e.g. because they
    are deleted, they offsets aren't the same, so you end up with an index (.sid)
    file that's too big and thus fails chksmb verification
    - we weren't reading the entire file base index record so packing a filebase
    would corrupt the index

    Bumped version to 3.21
