[comp.mail.mh] scan -file doesn't give message lengths ..

eo@ansa.co.UK (Ed Oskiewicz) (03/31/91)

If I run scan on a file containing messages appended by a file action in my
.maildelivery then the message lengths all come out as 0. This also happens
with a simple command line incantation, e.g.

scan -file Mail/From-MH -format "%3(msg)%5(size) %{subject}"
  1    0 Re: changing my from line
  2    0 MH on RS/6000 (AIX 3.1)
  3    0 parsing for reply

Does anyone have a fix for this?

My version of scan is:

version: MH 6.7.1 #12[UCI] (caligula) of Fri Feb 22 16:46:13 GMT 1991
options: [BSD42] [BSD43] [SUN40] [TYPESIG=void] [BIND] [BERK] [UK]
         [DUMB] [RPATHS] [MHE] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [MSGPROT='"0600"']
         [FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [SENDMTS] [SMTP]

BTW, I got exactly no replies to my request for help with Bboards - does
anyone out there use them?

Cheers,
