Subject:Re: Fix YAM Subjects Scripts

Hi Doodz,

Mine works as the script is usually applied while all the files are in
incoming and the're new mails anywayz. I just applied it to some mails
that had been read b4 fixing/filtering and noticed the prob. Sorta an
undocumented feature in a kinda MS way ;))) I usually pickup mail using a
script that fixes/filters after pickup but it also offlines and I was
surfing while picking up mail so I didn't use the script.

My script is based on really early version of Stephan's script :) Have you
added a specific fix for the flag prob or do you always apply it to new
mails??? I'm assuming it's a SFS quirk blanking the comment everytime a
file is edited. Then again the script sorta re-writes the file over the old
file so maybe it was a FFS quirk keeping the old filecomment... ?:o

Kewl, Thanx I've being looking for a YAM command but the only one I can spot
is setflag that only does user flags :(

> There is a ARexx Command for YAM to get the flags of the mail.

Mialinfo? It doesn't return the flags stored in the filecomment (New,
Unread)
I can't spot another one so I've used

ADDRESS COMMAND 'C:List >env:flags "'mi.filename'" LFORMAT="%C"'
...Mess with file...
ADDRESS COMMAND 'C:Filenote "'||mi.filename||'" "$flags"'

Catch ya l8ta
