Hi DM,

I just noticed this yesterday while doing some work on SlyVote.
SlyVote can display poll voting stats (for poll messages, it displays things like total_votes and information from the tally property in the message header). Currently, for poll votes, it's not getting any voting results. Even for polls that have been voted on, total_votes is 0 and it doesn't get any tally information. This is coming from MsgBase.get_msg_header() with the include_votes parameter as true.
I thought this was working at one point, but maybe not..?

Alternately, if I use MsgBase.get_all_msg_headers(true) (including the vote messages), it gets all the votes that way. Maybe that would be the better option anyway?

Those properties are only populated when using the MsgBse.get_all_msg_headers() method. The get_msg_header() method just reads a single message header. All the message headers must read/parsed to find and total votes.

I don't remember now why I wasn't just using get_all_msg_headers()..
Thanks.
