The problem actually is that the comments are before a login check that is
also before the <HTML> tag, and I am saving the pages as Active Server
Pages. NT Server or FrontPage extensions don't like those comments with the
following conversion:
<!-- MHonArc v2.3.3 -->
<!--X-Subject: Fw: Test post with new Sendmail -->
<!--X-From: "Me" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -->
<!--X-Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 17:47:33 -0600 -->
<!--X-Message-Id: 002c01be7b08$00697a60$[EMAIL PROTECTED] -->
<!--X-Content-Type: text/plain -->
<!--X-Head-End-->
<%@ LANGUAGE=VBSCRIPT %>
<%
If Not Session("LoginOK") Then Response.redirect "/default.htm"
%>
<HTML>
However this is OK:
<%@ LANGUAGE=VBSCRIPT %>
<%
If Not Session("LoginOK") Then Response.redirect "/default.htm"
%>
<!-- MHonArc v2.3.3 -->
<!--X-Subject: Fw: Test post with new Sendmail -->
<!--X-From: "Me" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -->
<!--X-Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 17:47:33 -0600 -->
<!--X-Message-Id: 002c01be7b08$00697a60$[EMAIL PROTECTED] -->
<!--X-Content-Type: text/plain -->
<!--X-Head-End-->
<HTML>
If the comments are after my login check, everything is fine, but if the
they are before, the server kicks out an error. In any case, I found the
code in mhamain.pl where the comments are being added and took them out for
now. I would like to make it so I can place my login check first, and still
have the comments in place in case I have to recover the DB, but I don't
know if having the code before the comments will break the recovery
function. Other than that, MhonArc has been a great program and is extreemly
useful. Thanks!
