-
- Basics
- ---------
-
- These two programs and the ARexx scripts to envoke them allow you to
- rewrap badly formatted mail, change headers, do minor final editing of
- mail, insert MUI control codes, and convert quoted-printable formatted
- mail to 8bit plain text.
-
- Though these were written with Marcel Beck's YAM in mind, they should
- work fine with any mailer that stores its mail in individual files.
-
- Note that YTCreformat works quite well with ANY text file.
-
- Requirements
- ---------------
-
- Nothing additional required (except MUI, of course).
-
- Quick Start
- -----------
-
- Copy the programs, their icons, and the *.rexx files into the Yam:rexx
- directory. If you put them somewhere else, you'll need to edit the rexx
- script variable for each program location.
-
- Add the scripts to the YAM rexx menu or place them on an URB button.
- Select a mail in YAM and run the rexx script.
-
- If you don't know about URB, look on Aminet:
-
- URB.lha util/misc Ubiquitous Resource Bars v1.0
-
- The Arexx scripts are not necessary if you run these from URB, CLI, or
- similar launcher.
