Does anyone have a version of m_getfld that does not use \001's as message seperators? I don't want to start another mailer-header war, but \001's are not for me. I would like to use the 'from_ user date' line as the message seperator. Also, completely upgrading to another version of mh is out. :-) Has someone done this, or should I start writing? Thanks, -Jeff -- Jeff Beadles jeff@quark.WV.TEK.COM

MH 6.5 (and later I guess, maybe before too) understands the UUCP From line. The function m_unknown() is called from scan() (~mh/uip/scansbr.c) to discover if there is a UUCP From line there. After all, MH only needs separators in messages it is inc()ing or rcvstore()ing. Your message is not clear really, do you mean elsewhere, like mail format files? The output of packf? -- ----- gregg.g.wonderly@att.com (AT&T bell laboratories)

Your message is not clear really, do you mean elsewhere, >like mail format files? The output of packf? I'm looking into 'inc'. Actually, it's scansub.c, in an older version of mh-mail. What I would like to do is have the mailer set-up so that it would not need to have ^A's seperating messages. The version of 'inc' that we're running here needs ^A's, else it thinks that all of the messages in the spool file belong as one huge message. (This is not good :-) Any suggestions rather than tossing the mh-mail that we're using now? -Jeff -- Jeff Beadles jeff@quark.WV.TEK.COM
