; Sample file: Qbbsort.Msg
;
; If this file is found in the QuickBBS message subdirectory
; (where the Msg*.Bbs files are stored) the text in this file
; instead of the "built-in" message will be used.
;
; There are five "variables" which may be used:
;
; $firstname will be replaced by the first name of the person
; which posted the illegally dated message.
;
; $name will be replaced by the full name.
;
; $date will be replaced by the dubiously date
; of the echomail message.
;
; $folder will be replaced by the string used in Folder.Sys
; to indicate the contents of an echomail folder.
;
; $subject will be replaced by the subject of the
; illegally dated echomail message.
;
; Attention Do not use two or more times the same variable on
; the same message line. Only the first match will
; be translated properly!
;
; Line formatting: blank lines or lines ending with ",", "!", "?"
; and ":" will be terminated by a "hard" carriage
; return/linefeed sequence. Other lines will be
; written in word wrap mode.
;
; Comment lines start with a semicolon character in column 1;
; they will not be included in the message text.

Dear $firstname,
during a chronological sort of echomail a dubiously dated message
($date, subject: "$subject") in the folder "$folder" was found. This
message originated from your system. Please triple check your computer's
clock before posting any new messages in the future. For the smooth
operation of the network (MSGID's, events and much more) properly set
system clocks are mandatory.
If you have troubles in setting your computer's date and time
have a look at your user's manual. Also, you probably should decide
to join one of the various echomail conferences specific for your type
of computer. There are a lot of useful hints and tips waiting to be
discovered by beginners like you, $firstname.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
