Short: Auto retrieves msgs from Foozle Bad_Dir Author: c8345041@cc.newcastle.edu.au Uploader: c8345041 cc newcastle edu au Type: comm/fido Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a conversion of the PlutRieve program to run under a Foozle setup instead of a vanilla *.MSG base. It gets the directory and tagnames from the Foozle.areas file instead of the TrapToss Fido.cfg, and maintains the 214-byte message headers instead of the plain 190-byte *.MSG headers. PlutRieve is a program to automatically scan messages in your BadMail directory, and retrieve them into your ordinary message bases. Messages get into the BADMAIL area for a variety of reasons, and a lot of them ARE bad messages - you wouldn't want them in distribution. But I find that the majority of messages that go into BAD do so for two main reasons: (a) it's a new area and you haven't set it up in your config or (b) the system sending you the messages isn't configured in the export-to line, due to an error, or a changing node number. It's for these two problems that PlutRieve comes to the rescue. Previously these messages would be very difficult to rescue, involving a lot of manual work copying messages about and possibly editing the messages at the binary level. Also, any messages saved this way would have an untidy "AREA:" line at the head of the text when sent to other systems. PlutRieve will be a very useful program to use in conjunction with Foozle - once you've used it I guarantee satisfaction! Mea Culpa, Peter Deane c8345041@cc.newcastle.edu.au
