When you send an email to the email list, you might get a bounce
message. This is because of a change at Gmail where they are now more
strict about SPF.

I made the change on freedos-user. If it seems to solve the problem
there, I'll make the same change on freedos-devel.


FYI that I've made the same change on freedos-devel. Let me know if
there are problems.

The solution was the "Munge the From email address" setting. Without
it, the list server fails on strict SPF checking.


Well, now it seems all messages in here also just show up as coming from 
"Technical discussions..." instead of showing the sender in my email 
client (latest version of Thunderbird, on both Windows and Linux)... :(

[Freedos-devel] Country-dependent YES/NO

2023-06-27 Thread Aitor Santamaría via Freedos-devel
Hello,

I have been watching the bug report for LABEL not accepting the
country dependent YES/NO characters, and just wanted to point out a not
very well known function, which should be the way to go, provided that it
is implemented in FreeDOS kernel (I haven't checked) and the user correctly
configures COUNTRY= in KERNEL:

DOS 4.0+ - DETERMINE IF CHARACTER REPRESENTS YES/NO RESPONSE
AX = 6523h

True, that is less risky if the NLS messages simply contain a text
description of yes/no  (" [SI/NO]") and then a second message with the
letters "SN", but I am of the opinion to use DOS kernel functions when they
exist.

Regards,
Aitor
