OK, your little script works as well for me.

I've triggered my issue, appreciate your thoughts on it.

I'm using objects - (not sure if you still have my msgbase.js) - in that I create an object representing the message base (with headers).

So I:

x=new MsgArea()
x.code = 'fsx_gen';

Setting the code triggers:
* this.msgbase = new MsgBase(code);
* open the msgbase
* this.headers = this.msgbase.get_all_msg_headers(false,false) || [];
* this.msgbase.close();

If I dump this.msgbase, before the open(BO:), after the open (AO:) and after the close (AC:), I get this:

BO:{"cfg":{"number":40,"grp_number":3,"grp_name":"0021:FSX","code":"fsx_gen","name":"01:GEN","description":"General Chat","qwk_name":"FSX_GEN","area_tag":"FSX_GEN","newsgroup":"0021_FSX.01_GEN","ars":"","read_ars":"","post_ars":"","operator_ars":"","moderated_ars":"","data_dir":"/opt/sbbs/data/subs/fsx/","fidonet_origin":"I'm playing with ANSI+videotex - wanna play too?","qwknet_tagline":"Alterant | an SBBS in Docker on Pi!","settings":102137891,"ptridx":28,"qwk_conf":0,"max_crcs":10000,"max_msgs":0,"max_age":365,"print_mode":0,"print_mode_neg":0},"error":"","status":0,"file":"/opt/sbbs/data/subs/fsx/fsx_gen","retry_time":30,"retry_delay":0,"first_msg":0,"last_msg":0,"total_msgs":0,"max_crcs":0,"max_msgs":0,"max_age":0,"attributes":0,"subnum":40,"is_open":false}

=> Zero's as expected.

AO:{"cfg":{"number":40,"grp_number":3,"grp_name":"0021:FSX","code":"fsx_gen","name":"01:GEN","description":"General Chat","qwk_name":"FSX_GEN","area_tag":"FSX_GEN","newsgroup":"0021_FSX.01_GEN","ars":"","read_ars":"","post_ars":"","operator_ars":"","moderated_ars":"","data_dir":"/opt/sbbs/data/subs/fsx/","fidonet_origin":"I'm playing with ANSI+videotex - wanna play too?","qwknet_tagline":"Alterant | an SBBS in Docker on Pi!","settings":102137891,"ptridx":28,"qwk_conf":0,"max_crcs":10000,"max_msgs":0,"max_age":365,"print_mode":0,"print_mode_neg":0},"error":"","status":0,"file":"/opt/sbbs/data/subs/fsx/fsx_gen","retry_time":30,"retry_delay":250,"first_msg":50203,"last_msg":60018,"total_msgs":9816,"max_crcs":10000,"max_msgs":0,"max_age":365,"attributes":0,"subnum":40,"is_open":true}

=> Has values as expected

=> first_msg has been zeroed

So why when the message base, is the "first_msg" attribute set to zero, but all other attributes are untouched?

Can it be left untouched?

(This is on a build as of yesterday - commit 6de0ebc0d.)
