Here is the full file Chris. Some explanation is needed for
the complexity: I collect outgoing messages in a ``Soup'' packet
created by either yarn or readmail. The packet is called replies.zip
o The program, x_spool.exe comes from the uka_ppp package, and
splits the messages in replies.zip up into separate files, one
message per file.
o The program, glue.exe, comes from the pmpop outgoing
mail transport, by David Harris, for use with the dos Pegasus mailer.
It converts ordinary Unix style message headers into Pegasus style,
``glue'' headers.
o I use Tony Lopez's, epppd as my packet driver, and his chat program
as my dialer. The dialer program is in dialer.bat
o fortune.exe is Bruch Gutherie's enhanced ``for'' command.
I can provide URLs for these programs, if necessary.
Interestingly, I must run fdsmtpop twice for my ISPs form of pop-before-smtp
to work. The author of fdsmtpop kindly added the ability to do pop and
then switch to smtp within one single session. While is is a common feature
of mail clients, my pop-before-smtp will not validate, unless the pop
session was closed, and a separte access from the smtp session.
