- ERASETAG -
- Erase Qmail DeLuxe² Taglines -
PURPOSE:
There is no option in Qmail DeLuxe² that will allow you to turn off the
creation of the tagline. All messages created by Qmail DeLuxe² have a
tagline whether you want it or not.
I prefer to create my own tagline in my editor and to remove the
unwanted Qmail DeLuxe² tagline.
You may wish to do the same.
CONTENTS:
Enclosed is ERASETAG.EXE. This program totally removes the tagline
that is put at the end of every reply message by the Qmail DeLuxe²
reader.
With this utility in place, you can construct a tagline in your editor
as you create the message. Qmail DeLuxe² will then append a tagline to
the one you created. When you exit from processing the packet,
ERASETAG.EXE is invoked.
ERASETAG.EXE scans each message looking for the identifier . . .
π---π ■ DeLuxe²
. . . and deletes the identifier and anything else that follows it.
This deletion continues up to the end of the physical message (marked
by a single "π" character).
If you do not enter a tagline with your editor, your message will be a
refreshingly clean presentation with no tagline at all.
Note that if you use the identifier in one of your messages,
ERASETAG.EXE will delete everything in your message from the start of
the identifier to the next "π" character.
INSTALLATION:
To install ERASETAG.EXE on your machine, you only need to do two
things.
First, copy the program.
Copy the program ERASETAG.EXE to the subdirectory on your system
that contains all the other Qmail DeLuxe² related programs.
As an example, on my system this directory is at C:\COM\QMD. If
ERASETAG.EXE is in the current directory, I would enter:
COPY ERASETAG.EXE C:\COM\QMD
Second, modify the Qmail DeLuxe² configuration.
Start Qmail DeLuxe².
Enter the Configuration command (C).
Enter the Archives area (A).
Change the entry that is currently:
PKZIP.EXE
to
ERASETAG d:\xxxxxxxx\PKZIP.EXE
(d:\xxxxxxxx is the drive and directory where the program
PKZIP.EXE resides on your system.)
As an example, on my system I would change:
PKZIP.EXE
to
ERASETAG D:\DOS\EXT\PKZIP.EXE
Now each time PKZIP.EXE would have been called, ERASETAG.EXE is called
instead. After ERASETAG.EXE erases the taglines from the file it
invokes PKZIP.EXE, from the drive and directory you specified, to
create the reply packet for transmission.
