  • PostTextFiles Netmail

    From Jay Harris@1:229/664 to g00r00 on Monday, January 10, 2022 16:05:32
    Hi g00r00,

    Probably not what PostTextFiles was intended for, but just wondering if it would be possible to allow posting a netmail message with mutil, either through PostTextFiles or perhaps a new stanza?

    If I try posting a netmail using PostTextFiles with the following:

    [PostTextFiles]
    totalfiles = 1

    file1_name = nm.txt
    file1_baseidx = 34
    file1_from = Jay Harris
    file1_to = g00r00@1:129/215
    file1_subj = Test Netmail
    file1_addr = 1:229/664
    file1_delfile = false


    The message would appear in the netmail base as follows:

    From : Jay Harris (0:0/0)
    To : g00r00@1:129/215 (0:0/0)
    Subj : Test Netmail

    The origin line of the message also shows (0:0/0) as the from address.

    Not a huge priority, and I don't know how often I would actually use it, just something I thought I would try to see what happens.


    Thanks,
    Jay

    Yes, both the PostTextFile in MUTIL and also the PostTextFile menu command within the BBS should allow you to post to netmail messages. Mystic will figure out the rest just set the addr to who you want to send it to and it should (hopefully) do the rest for you.

    file1_baseidx = 34
    file1_from = Jay Harris
    file1_to = g00r00@1:129/215
    file1_subj = Test Netmail
    file1_addr = 1:229/664

    You would want to change "file1_to" to "g00r00" do not put the address there. And then set file1_addr to "1:129/215". And of course your baseidx needs to point to a Netmail base.

    I probably should have made it "toaddr" instead of just "addr" to make it a little clearer as to what that addr option is supposed to do. Its the "To" address for Netmail.
