      Hi! Rick,              On 21 Jan 18 16:37, you wrote to me:               PQ>> Be warned: it currently doesn't do JAM netmail areas, or at        PQ>> least, not in a way that you might expect. Yes, I found out the        PQ>> hard way. ;-)               RC> Is the issue just JAM ** NETMAIL ** areas or ALL JAM msgbases systems        RC> including echo?              I only use Netmgr on netmail areas. The /SVN/xmsgapi/doc notes that...               ---===[ * * * ]===---       This is the first release of XMSGAPI. Some new bugs may be introduced.       SDM support has not been tested thoroughly.              This library is based on smapi-2.2, however the code has been cleaned       up, modified, and ported to a number of additional compilers. Note that       due to unresolved bugs and/or incomplete code in api_jam.c, JAM support       is currently not compiled into the library by default. Also, it is not       yet possible to generate a DLL of the XMSGAPI. These issues may be       corrected in a future release.        ---===[ * * * ]===---              I can tell you after having used it, that netmgr will carry out copy/move       actions to a JAM nemail 'definition' but treats it as a directory path. I.e.,       the resultant netmails end up at the bottom of a tree rooted by an exclamation       point, from where the executable was called from.               RC> I've always used MSG for Netmail, and some other things verus x        RC> message base be it JAM or Hudson, which I used in the past.              For over 24 years I have used MSG but have also used what's called a       'secondary' area for my own personal mail, freeing the primary area for junk       that has to happen with mailer & tosser software (e.g. areafix, PINGs, etc).        It has usually been another MSG area but in recent years I have developed a       preference for a JAM area, which can be presented with the JamNNTPd server (of       course).              Cheers,       Paul.              ... Lymph (v.), to walk with a lisp.       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20110213        * Origin: Quinn's Rock - Live from Paul's Xubuntu desktop! (3:640/1384)    |
