[REBOL] import-email with newsgroups

2000-02-28 Thread tim781 

Hi  I'm trying to use import-email with just
the headers of news posts but I don't know how.
I want to write a script that will save all newsposts
that are a reply to my post.
Having to download entire articles takes forever.
Thanks :)

  Good job! Would that everyone was as diligent as you at
  finding the source of bugs.  Sometimes our bug database
  winds up with entries of gigantic run on scripts with the
  note "there is a bug in here".  Boy--oh--boy! Those are the
  best. :-)

  At some point we'll have to make IMPORT-EMAIL more robust.
  So many little dangling items to get worked out with core,
  though we're swamped on command.  Of course, I'm sure that
  if someone fixed IMPORT-EMAIL and sent it in, with a little
  due process on our part, we'd certainly include it in the
  core and give credit within the source of the code.  No one
  ever takes my threats seriously... )-:   (-:

I first thought so too. However, check this out:

Pretty much everying is set to none. The fields To and Subject, for
instance, are provided in the email. Here the problem is not due to the
first line.

The problem was that the message includes newlines here:

Received: from bigplanet.com (1Cust44.tnt1.providence.ri.da.uu.net
[63.21.181.44])
by patty.loop.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id XAA27885

I believe that these multiple lines in the Received field threw
header-rules/parse-head off as well.

header-rules/parse-head expects to find a new field on each line (I
believe, after quickly browsing the code), doesn't it?

Probably the better solution would be to first check the header for
conformance with the parse rules, either remove lines that do not conform
or reformat them so that they do and then parse the stuff. If modifications
were made, this could be reported in an additional Parse-Error-Report field
in the header. 

BTW, Ingo, if you want to check it out for yourself, look at:
source import-email
source parse-header
probe header-rules

that should tell you everything you could possible want to know. I don't
have the time right now to review the stuff in detail.

Hope this helps,

Elan

  The first line there confuses IMPORT-EMAIL.  Set-words are
  being looked for, (from: subject: etc..) and the 'from' on
  the first line in UNIX mail format and eudora format doesn't
  have a colon after it.  The fix is to either skip a line, or
  skip forward to a field you want to have, that is:


 mail-obj: IMPORT-EMAIL FIND message "Received:"

can someone enlighten me, on how import-email is

I saved an email that I sent locally and try to

Do I do something wrong?
BTW, its 2.2.0.4.2, and I have not yet started to 
patch import-email or its helpers ;-)
