One of the things I was hoping to do was decrease the size of the message header and footer and increase the amount of readable text on the
screen. Our tradition of 80x24 is something I find slightly oppressive and I was hoping to ease the pain of that a bit.
After wrestling with ansimrd.ans a bit, I was able to trim the header
down to three lines. However, the message body displays and truncates where it always did.
I cannot see any way of changing of this; but in the event someone knows
a workaround for this so I can have the message body start on line 4 and end on line 23, I would appreciate it.

Those are where you tell Mystic to allow message text to live in
between.

It is still a mainly unmodded system; I'm configuring it as I have time, so there's not much of interest here yet, but I'm working on it.
Default new user messages, etc. are still in place, but I should have a bunch of those re-done by the end of the weekend.
