    While you're revamping sbbsecho, I was thinking about a possible feature reques .

    While I understand I'm able to read netmail/email with Golded+ by linking to /c rl/mail.shd, could it be possible to be able to write to that base using extern l editors as well?

    Maybe I should rephrase that. Like JAM message areas, there is a separate area/ ub-board for NETMAIL that can be accessed, read, and posted to. Linking to mail cnf seems to have every single piece of internet mail as well as netmail to any and all users all mixed into one, all readable by me.

    If everything for everyone goes through that one section, and won't be changed n that regard, can we have the option to setup a personal netmail sub-board to se like JAM software can do?

    Even having the versatility of linking multiple node numbers to that netmail ar a/sub-board would be nice, so you only have to have one netmail area/sub-board or any/all networks, but also with the ability to setup multiple for separating networks' netmail as well..

    I guess I'd basically like to be able to separate Fido-style netmail from the r st of the internet mail, and be able to post to it externally (via smbutil) or ven access it via an external program like Golded.

    Kinda winged it there on describing it.. but I hope that's enough for you to un erstand where I'm going with that. lol If not, ask away and I'll answer as best I can.

    You alrady can. There's nothing in Synchronet (or SBBSecho) prenting an SMB-aware message editor from writing messages to the mail base. smbutil can be used for this purpose even.

    Maybe I should rephrase that. Like JAM message areas, there is a separate area/sub-board for NETMAIL that can be accessed, read, and posted to. Linking to mail.cnf seems to have every single piece of internet mail as well as netmail to any and all users all mixed into one, all readable by me.

    If GoldEd+ is displaying all messages to you, that's a feature/function of GoldEd+ and has nothing to do with SBBSecho or Synchronet.

    If everything for everyone goes through that one section, and won't be changed in that regard, can we have the option to setup a personal netmail sub-board to use like JAM software can do?

    Synchronet already does that. If you read the mail base using a Synchronet-supported method (not GoldEd+) you'll normally only see *your* messages. What you're describing just sounds like a bug (or a feature, depending on how you look at it) of GoldEd+.

    Even having the versatility of linking multiple node numbers to that netmail area/sub-board would be nice, so you only have to have one netmail area/sub-board for any/all networks, but also with the ability to setup multiple for separating networks' netmail as well..

    I guess I'd basically like to be able to separate Fido-style netmail from the rest of the internet mail, and be able to post to it externally (via smbutil) or even access it via an external program like Golded.

    Kinda winged it there on describing it.. but I hope that's enough for you to understand where I'm going with that. lol If not, ask away and I'll answer as best I can.

    I have no plans to decouple different *types* of personal mail into separate message bases. All the personal mail goes in the mail base. That's the Synchronet design. And it really has nothing to do with SBBSecho.

    Okay. That's information enough. Golded still apparantly can't handle all of SM
    features.

    separate area/sub-board for NETMAIL that can be accessed, read, and
    posted to. Linking to mail.cnf seems to have every single piece of

    If GoldEd+ is displaying all messages to you, that's a
    feature/function of GoldEd+ and has nothing to do with SBBSecho or Synchronet.

    Apparantly it doesn't know users. Since all netmail as well as internet mail to and from everyone is stored in mail.shd, I'm guessing you're right and it's a G lded error. It only reads the file that is given to it, and while it reads that file just fine, I don't want to see netmails not to or from me.

    If everything for everyone goes through that one section, and won't
    be changed in that regard, can we have the option to setup a
    personal netmail sub-board to use like JAM software can do?

    Synchronet already does that. If you read the mail base using a Synchronet-supported method (not GoldEd+) you'll normally only see
    *your* messages. What you're describing just sounds like a bug (or a feature, depending on how you look at it) of GoldEd+.

    Confirmed. Thanks for the feedback. There is and was no one supporting the SMB upport of Golded besides you at that recent point. And before that I'm sure it as probably a decade or more since anyone has done so.. so it's a moot point.

    I have no plans to decouple different *types* of personal mail into separate message bases. All the personal mail goes in the mail base. That's the Synchronet design. And it really has nothing to do with SBBSecho.

    Ok. Thanks.

    Thanks for understanding. Perhaps one day I'll take another look at GoldEd+ and updating its SMB support. I noticed the same issues with netmail that you have.

    exec sbbsecho_upgrade.js 1.7 1.8
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv5083

    Modified Files:
    sbbsecho_upgrade.js
    Log Message:
    After converting sbbsecho.cfg to sbbsecho.ini, rename sbbsecho.cfg to sbbsecho.cfg.old to avoid confusion and make sure any other software/scripts that might use sbbsecho.cfg are now directed not to (and hopefully use sbbsecho.ini instead).
    DO NOT RUN THIS SCRIPT until you are ready to upgrade to SBBSecho v3 (which is not yet in CVS).
    If you upgrade to SBBSecho v3 without running this script, you won't have any of your previous settings (you can run the script after running SBBSecho v3). If you run the script witOUT upgrading to SBBSecho v3, you'll lose your settings, but you can just rename sbbecho.cfg.old to sbbsecho.cfg to get them back.

    Good Warning.

    Now about a month or two back, I made a bat file for running sbbsecho_upgrade.js (after I added a new node number to sbbsecho and made sure that there was no problems when the new node I ran the jsexec sbbsecho_upgrade.js, if you want me to send it over, let me know (it delete the old sbbsecho.ini and then make a new one)?

    If you ran sbbsecho_upgrade.js before (using a revision before 1.9), you should run it again. Some of the .ini section and key names have changed.

    going to (just download the sbbs_dev.zip), the bat file was if you want to add it the cvs, to help out other sbbs sysop

    I'm not sure why a bat file would be needed. You want to just paste it here?

    ok, here it is (I called it sbbsecho.bat and I keep in in the \sbbs\exec dir.) :

    @echo off

    d: <- replace with your drive letter
    cd \Sbbs\ctrl
    del sbbsecho.ini

    cd \sbbs\exec
    jsexec sbbsecho_upgrade.js

    sbbsecho_upgrade.js will overwrite (replace) your ctrl/sbbsecho.ini file if it exists,

    the first few times I ran jsexec sbbsecho_upgrade.js the sbbsecho.ini wasn't updating

    so the file deletion is unnecessary. So the value of the batch
    file seems questionable to me. If it helps other sysops, then there it is. :-) They can just copy and paste it into a file and run it.

    ok
