Replace: YAMscripts.lha
Long:
This archive contains several AREXX-scripts I've written for Marcel Becks's
(mbeck@access.ch) great mail program YAM. They were written for version
1.3.4 and might not work with older versions. Many of them require reqtools
and rexxreqtools libraries.
If you have any questions, comments or bugs to report, send mail to knikulai@utu.fi
These and other scripts can also be found on my ARexx page at
http://www.utu.fi/~knikulai/ARexx.html
Or if you want to test the Fileserver2 script, send mail to knikulai@utu.fi with
word 'request' as subject. Then put word 'help' in the message body and you'll
receive instruction on how to get scripts, samples and other files which are
available.
Some of the scripts in this archive are:
AddXHeaders.rexx
----------------
Reads a file and adds the contents to the headers of all messages in
the outgoing folder. Not very useful in my opinion, but several people
requested for it, so here it is :-)
CheckNewMail.rexx (v1.4)
------------------------
Scans all your folders and displays which of them have new or unread
messages in them. Very useful, if you have lots of folders; just let
the script scan your messages and select the folder you want to read
next from a requester. The script is pretty fast compared to earlier
versions.
DeleteOld.rexx
--------------
Removes old messages from the folder automatically.
FixQuotes.rexx
--------------
This script changes quote marks which aren't supported by all fonts
to ordinary quotes. No more annoying squares in the messages...
Fileserver2.rexx
---------------
You can create an automated filearchive with this script. Others can
get files from it by sending a request in e-mail. The script will reply
and attach the required file in the reply. It can also send a helpfile
or a current index of the archive. This version is much more versatile
than the old script, it can for example display contents of archived
files.
GetAddresses.rexx (v1.1)
------------------------
Scans all messages in the current folder for e-mail addresses and
displays them in a requester. From that requester addresses can be
added to the YAM addresbook.
GrabURL.rexx (v1.2)
-------------------
Scans the selected message and displays all http: and ftp: references
in a requester. You can select one of them and send it to your browser.
Currently supported browsers are AWeb, IBrowse and Voyager.
GrabAllURLs.rexx (v1.1) & MakeHotlist.rexx
------------------------------------------
These scripts scan all _read_ messages in the current folder for http:
and ftp: references like the above script. The first then displays a
requester and second creates a HTML-file and sends it to your browser.
Join.rexx (v1.1)
----------------
Joins and uudecodes multipart messages. Can be used with for example
many ftp-mailers and SplitNMail.rexx.
PGPRead.rexx & PGPWrite.rexx
----------------------------
These scripts try to make usng PGP a bit simpler and quicker.
Search.rexx (v1.1)
------------------
Search current folder for a word.
SplitNMail.rexx
---------------
This script will split a long file into several posts and mail them.
This is useful for posting long files to many mailing lists and newsgroups.
Tagline2.rexx
-------------
Changes the editor button to 'add tagline' -button . Supports multiple
tagfiles and multi-line tags.
Unread.rexx
-----------
Simpy marks the current message as unread.
WholeStory.rexx (v1.3)
----------------------
Combines multipart messages. I use this script to join X-Files fanfic
mailings into a single file.
YAMMail.rexx (v1.1)
-------------------
Use YAM to send mail from AWeb. Asks, if you want to include the current
page. This version can get the subject from the URL. I'm not sure how
it will work with the commercial version, since I only have the old demo.
What to do, when the scripts will not work?
-------------------------------------------
First of all you need to check a few things:
- Do you have YAM running? The scripts can be started from shell or
whatever program you are using, but they need to have YAM running first.
- Do you have ARexx running? If not, you might want to add line
'run <>nil: RexxMast' to your startup-sequence
- Do you have rx-command in sys:rexxc, where YAM looks for it?
- Do you have all the required libraries?
- Did you configure the script correctly? This means editing path and
filenames in the script and setting the correct path & command in
YAM:.config
If you still have problems, keep YAM running in the background and execute
the script from shell by typing 'rx yam:rexx/scriptname'. That way you
will see the error message which usually is 'Missing quote' or 'Unfinished
comment' which are both really easy to correct.
If you still can't get a script work, execute it from shell by typing
'rx >ram:error yam:rexx/scriptname' and send the created file ram:error
to knikulai@utu.fi and I'll try to fix the problem.
Have fun!
