I have a question for the folks at Declude concerning the locations,
naming conventions and locks if any that are used for the Q files while
being processed.
I understand that in Declude 2.x and lower Declude will rename the Q
file by replacing the leading "Q" with an underscore, and the extension
has it's first letter replaced with a tilde. Am I correct in assuming
that when 2.x and below moves a Q file into Overflow, that it repeats
this same behavior in that directory?
Then for 3.x versions, it seems to have been reported that the Q files
are moved no matter what. I was wondering if the renaming conventions
are still the same, or what they would be if they are different. I was
also wondering what directory the Q file is located in when it is being
scanned.
I also have a request for Declude. Please bear in mind that the Q file
is the only reliable way for an external application to get sender and
recipient information, and consistency across versions, even platforms
(SmarterMail and IMail), including renaming conventions and directory
structure, is important for those of us that wish to program external
applications that make use of this information. While there is a
variable for %MAILFROM% and %ALLRECIPS% that can be passed to external
applications, command line applications don't allow the < and >
characters (the environment will exit with an immediate error unless
quoted, and Declude doesn't support that) and there are character
limitations that %ALLRECIPS% can run into. So please consider the need
to standardize and keep consistency when choosing locations and
conventions such as these.
Thanks,
Matt
