subject: Incorrect logins, passwor

Hello g00r00!

I just noticed the following:

* If someone exceeds the maximum login attempts (enters an incorrect password
multiple times), gets prompt #538 (if the e-mail reset feature has been
enabled) and then hangs up at that prompt, Mystic appears to send the password
reset e-mail despite the fact that the user hung up -- *if* the user had "Yes"
selected at the lightbar prompt.

I would have expected it to not send the password reset e-mail but rather the
hackwarn e-mail (both if the user denies e-mail reset or hangs up).

* If someone exceeds the maximum login attempts, gets prompt #538, denies
e-mail reset, gets prompt #475, chooses to send a password inquiry to the
SysOp and then aborts the message from within the full screen editor, the
recipient of the automatic hackwarn message appears to be set to be the SysOp
rather than the potentially hacked user.

* If a user attempts to deselect a (single) message base from new scans or QWK new scans, which has New Scan: Forced or QWK Scan: Forced, prompts #302/#406 do not seem to be shown any longer. (I know these prompts were unexpectedly shown earlier when selecting/deselecting *all* bases, which was
fixed in the 07/11 A48, but perhaps that fix also affected this?)

Hoping you can take a look at this whenever you get some time.

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards
Bj”rn
