- I have a directory of mail files from an archive. These files are numbered sequentially
- starting at 000000 through however many I have. I have also built a .cap directory using
- the Name field to contain the Subject: line from each mail file in the archive, and the
- Numb field to be the order when the mail file was added into the archive. When I run
- gopherd 1.02 on this directory, the labels shown are the Subject: lines, and the
- labels are shown in the order I wanted. All works fine.
-
- Then, I built an index with waisindex. The waisindexer of course uses the
- real file names and not the names that I have defined with .cap.
-
-
- My question is: how can I get waisindex/gindexd to use the names from the .cap
- directory so that I give a consistent and more readable view of my files in my
- archive? It does not appear possible from my reading, but perhaps someone else
- has doe the magic. BTW, changing the file names to the a file named from
- the Subject: line, as in
-
- mv 000000 "Crash related to mail in 1.3.2?"
-
- will not universally work as some of the Subject: lines have / in them (this would
- work fine if there were a way for the client and server to translate / to something
- else and then back again. Hence, the reason for picking the .cap directory
- and functionality.
-
- Thanks.
