- 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.
