AddNewHdr V0.12
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Purpose
~~~~~~~
A thread on a.a.v raised the question of adding additional
fields to the header of usenet postings.
The enclosed data file is a VIX module to add a user-specified
set of fields to the header just before they are sent. (But
don't expect an icon on the Voyager toolbar, it doesn't use one).
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Open up the VIX Manager (preferences), and drag the "AddNewsHdr"
file onto the icon, then click OK.
Then edit the !Voyager.Apps.Transports.NNTPSend file to include
the lines:
WimpSlot -min 32k -max 32k
Run <AddNewsHdr$Dir>.!RunImage
at the top.
Then quit Voyager, and restart.
Usage
~~~~~
Usage of AddNewsHdr is transparent (it is automagically kicked off
when the Voyager connects to the Internet).
To alter the header fields added by AddNewsHdr, simply edit the file
!Voyager.VIX.AddNewsHdr.NewFields - currently it just does uses
X-No-Archive: yes
for those of you who don't want your pearls of wisdom recorded for
posterity on deja-news.
NB If !Voyager.VIX.AddNewsHdr.NewFields is not present, the program
will exit correctly - ie it won't complain, and will exit without
altering the headers.
