Hello,

New on this ML, I have the following problem to solve.
Using  Hamster,  Xnews,  and the Bat, i would like to use the nice editor of
the  bat  to  correct messages between Xnews and Hamster.(Hamster is a local
news and mail server ). So, i have written a script in Hamster with a little
VBS to do that. As a test, i use it dealing with Winword.

Works  perfect:  sending  the  post  from  Xnews  open winword with the text
inside,  and  a  message  box.  Ok  on  the  message box, and the message is
corrected  in  Hamster.  All  that  is  done across clipboard, but i can use
text-files as well.

My question is: How to do the same with the editor of The Bat!.

I don't know enough about MAPI, or DDE to do that. I have tried "mailu", but
the  message goes directly in Outbox of "the Bat!, without opening editor. I
have tried "Mailto:";, but it seem limited to 128 chars.

To  give  more  precisions,  my script does the followings: As soon a news's
post  is  received  in  Hamster, the text part of it is copied in clipboard,
then,  Hamster execute the VBS witch open Winword, and paste the text inside
with  a  msg box.   After edition (spelling, and so), ok on the msgbox goes:
select  the  whole  text,  copy  in clipboard, close WinWord, exit VBS. Then
Hamster replace the text of the original message with the corrected one from
clipboard.

Did someone have an idea ?  I am Working blind on that for hours.

(Apologies for my poor English!, and have have a good day.)

Amicalement,
