Hi ztrader,

On 31 August 2000 at 08:17:58 GMT -0700 (which was 16:17 where I
live) ztrader wrote and made these points on the subject
of "External processing of TB files?":

z> TB?

I wouldn't have thought it would be an easy task.

z> For example, if I run a pgm to remove ads, some headers, etc from
z> TB email files, would TB still be able to use them as if nothing

Doubtful.

z> These would be for the .tbb files only, not the .tbi's (index files?).
z> The binary top header and message headers would not be changed by the
z> processing.

'Ay, there's the rub'. If you modify the .tbb you would have to remove
the .tbi completely because the tbb it refers to no longer matches.

z> If the processing gets more extensive and entire messages are
z> removed, including the binary header, would this still be OK?

Again - doubtful.
