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.
