Could DDMsgReader be updated to allow @ msg codes in strings? I'm trying to customize prompts but it's limited since the strings do not allow @ codes like SUB or GRP.

In the same vein, would be nice to pull SBBS default strings like "Subboard, Group, or All" from the text.dat so that changes and substitutions done there (and substitutions made in our login.js file) are also used in the MsgReader and Msg Scans, etc... Reference these text.dat strings in the this.txt block where default values or stored in case they're not configured in the theme's .cfg file.

However as per my first suggestions, right now, changing scanScopePromptText: bbs.text(621) in this this.txt block doesn't expand the @ tags contained within the substition for string #621

Do you mean you want DDMsgReader to expand @-codes in messages, or in the text lines it uses for its interface, or both?

Changing text.dat line 621 would have no effect in DDMsgReader since as you said, DDMsgReader doesn't use that line from text.dat. I suppose DDMsgReader could be updated to take that line from text.dat.

I just pushed up a branch and merge request which addresses this.
