Hi Howard E.,
About "16-Bit OS, GIFs, eList" of February 10:
HE> I finally settled on uka_ppp or Yan (KA9Q) for smtp, pop, and nntp
HE> and Yarn or ReadMail (version 4.1) for offline reading.
I'm begining to have results with `ReadMail' but that's far from my
goal which was to keep using the `Multi-Mail' ~OLMR~ if at all possible.
HE> ...ld.exe and nm2mail.exe that are used to convert the individual
HE> .txt/.wrk files to a single unix mailbox.
MS> I did try to play with `LilDir v1' & `NetMail to Mail'... ...it
MS> creates `GetMail.LST' but then something else would be required...
HE> I'm not sure what you did... ...I ran "nm2mail mbox.txt" in the
HE> \mail directory, which converted the .txt/.wrk files...
That's what i wasn't doing, as foolish as it may seem once you know
the trick: it works much better with an argument and i was able to make
a huge MailBox file the last time i tried. The problem is `ReadMail' is
able to read that file but there are messages which didn't appear in the
headers list; they're appened to a preceeding file... Well, at least i
now have coloured zones when i want to read single .TXT/.WRK messages...
8-)
That's a set of tools i didn't have before, many thanks for that!!!
HE> OLIM is a KA9Q mailreader. It reads unix mailboxes and creates
HE> replies in .txt/.wrk format.
I have found that `ReadMail v5.0' will create .TXT replies (but no
.WRK twin file yet), it refers to it as "RFC 1153" if i recall right...
HE> I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree...
I feel comfortable with this attitude. Quite often, that's the one
and only constructive option in many cases, suits me well at the moment.
;-)
MS> Oh, and, euh... Don't let the Linux people think it can't be done!
HE> I'm not in any rush to start telling developers what projects they
HE> should be working on.
I once had ideas for the authors of `Basic Linux' and `LSPPP' but i
must recognize that the insight of a user isn't that needed. After all,
you recall how it turned out for `IVT': this can drain a lot of energy!
Salutations, :)
