• *.MSG usage...

    From Bill McGarrity@1:266/404 to Digital Man on Mon Nov 6 20:25:55 2017
    Hiya DM...

    A few days ago you spoke of removing ARCMail from sbbsecho. Will this removal affect the conversion of *.MSG/Attach at all? I, along with a few others use MakeNL and it creates *.MSG when sending updated segments up the ladder. Also, there is Frontdoor's FM editor I use when creating netmail and sending files as well. It's a little easier than looging into the bbs. sbbsecho converts them quite easily for BSO transmission.

    If indeed this option is planned on being removed in future versions, I beg you to please reconsider.

    Thank you!!

    I was not proposing the removal of FTS-1 "stored message" (so-called
    .msg file) support.

    I, along with a few
    others use MakeNL and it creates *.MSG when sending updated segments up the ladder. Also, there is Frontdoor's FM editor I use when creating netmail and sending files as well. It's a little easier than looging into the bbs. sbbsecho converts them quite easily for BSO transmission.

    If that works today, it would continue to work. It's just the "BSO
    mode" would not longer be an option, it would be the *only* mode of operation supported. If you're already using BSO/FLO mode, and it
    sounds like you are, then there would be no change for you.

    Wonderful....

    Thank you..

    in BSO mode, where is the MSG directory that one can specify in FA
    mode? folks using tools that generate MSG files need to have a
    directory to place them into for sbbsecho to process them and their attachments...

    Thought that was stated in the Networks area in SCFG.

    unless things have changed since i was last in echocfg, you can't get there (into that field) when in BSO mode... only when in FA mode... the newer version may have changed this, though...

    It wasn't in echocfg.... it was in the main cfg for sbbs. Only thng I set in echocfg were the folders for inbound, sec inbound and outbound.

    where ever it is/was, you can't/couldn't get into the field to set it
    when you're in BSO mode... there's no default listed and visible
    either, as i recall... only when you switch to FA mode can you see what may be in that field and edit it... it has been a while since i've
    worked on a new synchronet installation, though, so i may be thinking
    of another similar field... i just tried on max's system and in scfg, i can see and set that directory now but there's been numerous CVS
    updates and builds that have been done since the original
    installation... we're about due for another one and that one may be
    tricky because of updating to sbbsecho v3 with its new changes and switching to an ini file...

    That I wouldn't know Mark and in older version before I came back it may have been as you said. From v3.14 of scfg and v2 of echocfg the only place I remember was in scfg because I used to run it as ARCMail. :)

    The setting is in SCFG, not echocfg.

    That's what I originally said... :)

    Mark was the one who questioned it...

    The NetMail directory option has always been in SCFG (never echocfg)
    and never dependant on any SBBSecho configuration (BSO/ArcMail or
    other), so your memory is correct.


    Damn.. got something right for a change... ;)
