- The patch from Nathaniel Borenstein that allows public bulletinboards
- works great; people with write permission to a directory are able to
- delete messages from a public bboard.
-
- Only VUI manages somehow to put the protection mask of .MS_MsgDir files to:
- -rw-------
- when it updates a message folder.
-
- When a message is marked for deletion (CUI_DeleteMessage() ->
- AMS_SET_ATTRIBUTE) everything is ok, but when the directory gets purged
- the file protection mask changes to the above (CUI_PurgeDeletions() ->
- MS_PurgeDeletedMessages()).
-
- The strange thing is that messages, ezmail, cui set the file protection
- correct, and they all use the same library call to do it
- (AMS_PurgeDeletedMessages()).
-
- I'am really stuck here!
-
- Can someone with more knowledge about the message library help me out.
- Right now deleting a public message with VUI locks up that bboard for
- every one else.
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Harco.
