Subject: Using NETMAIL PRO with Pegasus Mail for DOS
Reading messages with DOS PMail downloaded with NETMAIL PRO
Netmail Pro is a very small program that includes under one .exe file
a Dos dialer, complete PPP implementation, POP3 download and SMTP
sending.
It can be downloaded from Simtelnet at:
..\msdos\nettamer\netmail.zip
Messages are downloaded to individual files named:
MAIL0001.IN , MAIL0002.IN , ......
These files cannot be read by PMAIL because their first line is
a blank line.
The .IN extension must also be changed to .CNM
I have writen a small batch file that:
a)- Replaces the first blank line with a message.
b)- Renames .IN files to .CNM files.
c)- Copies these files to your subdirectory under C:\PMAIL\
d)- Deletes the original files.
The batch file is: NET2PM.BAT:
for %%r in (*.in) do ren %%r *.
for %%c in (*.) do copy HEAD.TXT + %%c c:\pmail\mymail\%%c.cnm
for %%d in (*.) do del %%d
HEAD.TXT is a file with only one line like:
Downloaded by NetMail
........but.....: this line must not finish with a CR or LF.
To create it type:
COPY CON HEAD.TXT
Downloaded by Netmail
After the last letter do a Ctrl Z (do not press ENTER).
NetMail.exe can work in it's own directory or in PMAIL's.
I am also trying to write a batch file to send messages written with
PMail.
The command-line interface is a vestige of an era of macho computing.
