Crashmail can do              Functionality to parse the From/FromAddr/To/ToAddr/Subject from a text file.              Currently those fields must be provided with command-line switches, which       rules out being able to transparently generate a complete message after MakeNL       has exited.               ac>> Then all the messagebase stuff in MakeNL could be removed as        ac>> arguably it doesn't belong there.               RC> Notifications besides logging is indeed useful, but what it doesn't        RC> already do could be done by generating the message in a text rile in        RC> some standard way. (Amongst other things; some messages I'd like        RC> sent and/or cc'ed via both netmail and email....)              To be clear I'm not suggesting removing notifications, merely externalising       the code.              --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20110223-b20110223        * Origin: Blizzard of Ozz, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (3:633/267)    |
