- OVERVIEW:
- ---------
-
- 'sumstl' stands for "Stuntzi's UMS Tools" and is a collection of five
- useful tools for the UMS message base system:
-
- sumsprint - extract certain messages from message base to a file.
- sumswrite - create new messages.
- sumsset - set certain bits on certain messages.
- sumsfolder - set folder on certain messages.
- sumsdel - deletes certain messages
-
- With the aid of these five tools, you can perform lots of actions, such
- as automatic message archiving, automatic generation of return receipts,
- automatic message forwarding, areafix support, user filter, etc.
-
- You could e.g. select all messages about "MUI", extract them from the
- message base with 'sumsprint' and forward them to a special MUI-Area
- with 'sumswrite'.
-
- Or you could select all messages from user "Martin Horneffer" and route
- them via 'sumsprint' to a printer. Thus, you will have all his mumbling
- on a sheet of paper and can easily create some nice paper planes. :-)
-
- If you are a node that offers some kind of areafix, 'sumsprint' could
- extract all messages to user "Areafix" for further parsing with an
- areafix tool.
-
- Do you need some kind of expire? Just select all messages in
- 'fidonet.Amiga.ger' that are older than 30 days and set the Expire-Bit
- with 'sumsset'.
-
- There are simply no limits!
