-----------------------------------------------------
If you've been wanting to access usenet with YAM2 then these scripts are
for you, they allow you to download usenet posts into YAM2 and reply back
to them.
The basics of using the scripts is explained in the main documentation and
on the homepage, if you do not read the included doc then you might not get
as far as you would hope, the doc contains step by step information on how
to configure and set this up, then after that it's easy to read+post.
--=-- New in 0.5 --=--
->Added in tons of failsafes into the install script, the post script
and the read script so that if the script(s) can't open a file or
post with a newsserver then it lets you know, giving as much reasons
as to why as possible so you can change newsservers or make sure the
file missing is created.
->Proper threading of posts. Altered the read script so that the
References: line of usenet gets translated into the In-Reply-To:
line that YAM2 is used to dealing with for proper threading of posts,
it intelligently trims down long References: line(s) into just one
message ID. It's the opposite of what I earlier added to the post
script so that the posts you send are threaded properly in people's
newssreaders, but now they're also threaded properly in YAM2.
--=-- Requirements --=--
