Changes to BM program in version 3.3.2c
---------------------------------------
Costas Krallis, SV1XV
<kkrallis@leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr>
1993 February 23
1. "-q" command line option.
-----------------------------
The "-q" command line option instructs BM not to create any headers
in the text spool file, because it is assumed that the input to BM is
already in RFC-822 format. This option was added (but not documented)
by D. Trulli, NN2Z in version 3.3.2. and allows BM.EXE to be used
to queue a message via NOS (as a queueing channel from within another
program).
2. "Organization: " header line
-------------------------------
This field can be added to the header by entering the line:
organ <space> your_organization_name
in the BM.RC file. This is especially useful if you are using
e-mail to post Usenet News articles via a mail => news gateway.
3. Configurable aliases file pathname
-------------------------------------
The default alias pathname ("/alias") can be changed by entering
the line:
alias <space> alias_pathname
in the BM.RC file.
4. Use in a shell pipe line or with redirection
-----------------------------------------------
BM reads the standard input (stdin) and prompts for 'Subject: ' or
prints the Copyright message only if the input comes from a physical
terminal. This feature allows usage in a batch file accrding
to the following examples:
chkdsk | bm -s DiskStatus sysop@sv1xv.ampr.org
bm -s SysLog < c:\syslog\system.log
5. Real world names allowed in destination address
--------------------------------------------------
This feature was added to BM v3.3.2c by Jerzy Tarasiuk, <jt@fuw.edu.pl>,
who describes it here:
> A feature of BM I (and one of my friends) don't like is it allows
> to specify as recipient bare address only, not something like:
> jt@zfja-gate.fuw.edu.pl (Jerzy Tarasiuk)
> I made a mod allowing it for bm332b, it is on zfja-gate file
> mailer/bm-send.zip (contains only BM.H and SEND.C). Allows the
> specified form on 's' command argument, and /alias file can have
> lines like: jt jt@zfja-gate.fuw.edu.pl (Jerzy Tarasiuk)
> Specifying name on command line overrides name from alias file.
