      Hi Paul,              On 2017-09-16 22:56:00, you wrote to me:               WvV>> You can't.               PQ> I am crushed. :(              You'll get over it. ;)               WvV>> That's by design. Freq's are not really the domain of a        WvV>> mail processor/tosser.               PQ> You had better tell FTools then. It has a 'post' function sporting a '-r'        PQ> switch (I wasn't using it... honest).              That's about creating a filerequest message, not about handling it...               WvV>> A BSO mailer needs a .req file to send a file request to a        WvV>> node.               PQ> That's all the tosser needs to do in a BSO environment: parse the Subj        PQ> field for FREQ-able filename(s), and create the .Req file for the intended        PQ> system from the netmail. That .Req file is added to the .Flo file. The        PQ> contents are the requested filename(s) at one per line.              Ok it could be done, maybe in the pack function, or maybe in a seperate       function. It doesn't seem all that hard... But it was never implemented by the       original author, and never came up before in the 10 years I'm involved with       the source code. I could put it on "the list", but it wouldn't be a high       priority item...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)    |
