I'm having a problem with the recently (well, I guess not so recently :-)
posted RN news reader. I believe I have made all the fixes that were posted.
The problem is this -- when you save an article to a Mailbox type file, it
does not work. The problem is that the line comes out like:
From bambi@behind-the-green-door.SMUTNET
^^^^^^^^
Notice -- NO DATE.
I have CONDSUB defined, so I'm using the 'larger' MBOXSAVER define in common.h
-- but for some reason it isn't groking the date.
Suggestions?
