    Use "Message Editors" instead of the (vague) "External Editors"

    It was redudnant having "External Editors" under "External Programs" (they're all external, yeah?) and of course, "Editors of what?"

    So yeah, existing docs are now all wrong. :-)

    In addition to editing messages, I thought those editors would also be used for other things, such as when the user edits their signature? I thought "external editors" made sense.

    Yeah, I considered "Text Editors", but they're mainly known as "Message Editors" in the BBS world. "External" is implied.

    Log Message:
    Fix bug with fixed event toggles

    I'm totally perplexed that none of the compilers we have warned about this obvious incorrect usage of the toggle_flag() function. Not warning about passing false (0/NULL) for a char* makes some sense, but not the passing of
    a const char* in place of a bool (int)? Maybe we should be building with
    -Wall?
