Msged 3.10b modifications by
Bill Bond 1:325/118
wbond@whb.org
Please report bugs in this version to me and not to Paul Edwards.
This should be regarded as beta level code.
Included in this archive are changed source files since the 3.10 version
release by Paul Edwards (3:711/934) and the updated .exe files for OS/2
and DOS. You will need the original 3.10 archive file in order to
compile this version. You may also need it for the 3.10 docs, help
files and sample config files.
The original 3.10 archive is available for file request as MSQ310.ZIP.
My thanks to Paul for his ongoing work on Msged. I have sent him copies
of my changes in case he wants to implement them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These items are changed/fixed from the base 3.10 code:
95/07/14: .01
Now identifies itself as MsgedB or MsgedB/2. The B is to differentiate
this version from Paul Edwards' code.
Added new switch for config file: switch showsystem on. This defaults to
on and displays the system name following the node number in read mode.
Added two items to the alt-s 'system settings' dialog: sot/eot and
showsystem.
Added back the tearline switch that had been removed from 3.10.
Added display of date received for *.MSG areas if the tosser has updated
this field.
Changed behavior so that tear lines and origin line are displayed of the
soteot switch is turned off.
Disabled stripping of tear/origin lines when changing, copying, moving and
redirecting a message. This behavior is only active if soteot switch is off.
95/07/16: .02
Change made to prevent tearline from being stripped from new messages in
netmail area.
Fixed code that would sometimes result in the domain address for an area
becoming corrupt.
95/07/17: .03
Fixed bug that crept into .02 version as part of the above fix. It would
trap when copying/moving from an area that had no domain.
Added some debugging output to the configuration code. It should display
warning messages for invalid options.
95/07/21: .04
Improved error checking for creation of messages in *.msg areas.
Changed the code for the move message option to reduce the chance that
the old message is lost when creation of the new message fails.
Change made to prevent stripping of lines that start with --- in echo areas.
The code will still strip a line of it only contains three -'s, unless
it's a netmail area.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
misc. notes...
undocumented items in Msged.doc:
vc: = verbose cc
bc: = blind cc
cc: ~filename = read names from filename
ctl-h = change message header (mentioned at end of 3.10 docs)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
these are the switch settings that I use (fyi):
switch hardquote off
switch savecc off ; save the original cc: message?
switch rawcc off ; save the original as raw or formatted?
switch seen-bys off ; display seen-by, origin + tear control info?
switch shownotes off ; display kludges starting with x'01'?
switch confirm on ; confirm actions such as delete?
switch showaddr on ; show address in header?
switch msgids on ; create msgids?
switch opusdate off ;
switch datearvd on ; show the date the msg arrived?
switch tearline on ;
switch chopquote off ; chop the end of messages?
switch qquotes on ; quote quotes?
switch uselastr off ; store the highest read msg# in squish areas?
switch showcr off ; show CRs (as an '')?
switch showeol off ; show the end of lines (as an '')?
switch realmsgn off ; show the real message number in <alt><l>?
switch usemouse on ; do we want mouse support?
switch editcronly off ; show CRs in editor only
switch usepid off ; use a ^aPID instead of tearline?
switch soteot off ; bracket user-text with sot/eot <leave on!> ?
switch showsystem on ; show system name?
