  • MSG_READ attribute and saving message headers

    From Nightfox to Digital Man on Sat Mar 14 12:45:14 2015
    Hi DM,

    I'm working on a message reader in JavaScript and am wondering about a couple things regarding the MSG_READ attribute:
    - When marking a message as read, does it make sense to do so only if the message is written to the logged-in user who is reading the message?
    - To enable the MSG_READ attribute for a message, is this the proper way to do that (assuming msgHeader is the header object and msgbase is the message base object):
    msgHeader.attr |= MSG_READ;
    msgbase.put_msg_header(true, msgHeader.offset, msgHeader);

    Yes.

    msgHeader.attr |= MSG_READ;
    msgbase.put_msg_header(true, msgHeader.offset, msgHeader);

    Yes.

    Yes.

    way to do that (assuming msgHeader is the header object and msgbase is
    the message base object):

    Yes.

    Thanks.
