  • Compatible .MSG mailers

    From Flavio Bessa@4:801/188 to All on Fri May 3 18:04:39 2024
    Hi,

    Any suggestions of compatible .MSG mailers that could be compiled to run at MacOS? I was able to generate the netmail update here, but Mystic mailer is not compatible with it...

    Regards,
    Flavio

    ... Help! I can't find the "ANY" key.

    My suggestion is just to copy the outbound segment file into a filebox directory for the appropriate node, or perhaps use a utility (mutil?) which can create the file attach in a format that Mystic's mailer understands.

    This situation is basically the same as with interbbs door games. Binkp doesn't understand nor does it care about the .MSG attachment. So just setup a filebox for your uplink and move the segment there so that your mailer will see and send it to your RC/ZC. Then, you can safely remove/delete the .MSG attachment file.

    Also, if you have makenl create any kind of netmail you can simply move that to the filebox as well.

    With binkp mailers you just have to move those files around manually with batch files and/or scripts, and the .MSG attach file is unused.
