1 Description
Echo-mail is great. You can leave messages on your favorite BBS
and within a couple of days your messages have made it across the
United States, Canada and even into Great Britain and Europe!
If you use an off-line mail reader it is even easier. All you
have to do is call your BBS and configure Qmail or Markmail to
send your mail from the desired conferences, and down comes your
mail packet ready for you to process with your favorite off-line
mail reader like EZ-Reader, Deluxe², SLMR, or Session Manager.
BUT.....
Have you ever wished you could scan through an entire mail packet
for just one key phrase? Have you ever wanted to scan through a
mail packet to make sure people aren't talking to you or (worse
yet!) about you without addressing the message to you?
Have you ever wanted to scan through several mail packets and
pull out all messages that contained the string "Hello, Mr.
Neutron! Meet Mr. DNA..." (I can't tell you how often I've
wanted to search on that string)....or have you ever wanted to go
back through a bunch of your old packets and pull out all the
messages that were contained in the thread, "Care and Feeding of
Your Radiographer" or that ever-popular thread in Oklahoma,
"Geriatric Cows: Victims of Society?"
Well, now you can! QWKSCAN does all that and more! QWKSCAN has
many features, only a few of which are bugs:
1. Search .QWK message packets or .REP reply files,
optionally using AND/OR search logic.
2. Easily integrates with your existing message reader.
3. Ability to Filter out messages from Nitwits.
4. "Remembers" up to 10 search strings to easily support
multiple searches through multiple mail packets.
5. Completely menu-driven for ease of use. QWKSCAN can
optionally be run from the command line, making it
possible to do searches in a batch file prior to
actually reading the packet with your mail reader.
6. Previews all messages containing the search string to
screen, allowing easy marking/unmarking for saving.
7. Optio
