I have just got MailService, and it's a great program! Thanks to Eric Celeste. I have one problem now. How do I send NeXTmail back to the sender? My only link to the internet world is a direct line to my school's mainframe. I'm in love with NeXTmail and I am would love to use it all of the time. Steven D.

I have MailService which is very nice but it seems to hack off the sender (Always sets it to From: <my_ accont_name>). I'd also like to know about reading News from a remote machine if that's possible. I think these topics are of sufficient general iterest that they could be discussed here w/out wasting bandwidth, but if not, please just send me e-mail.

Hmm, I haven't tried this, but it seems to me that you should be able to fake things out. Create a dummy account on your NeXT, and send from your real account to the dummy account. Then poke around in the mail directory of that dummy account to find your message. Upload the text of the message as a file to the mainframe (using Kermit, for instance), and then send a message using that file as input. Sounds like a bit of work, but given some kind of script it might not be too onerous. I doubt I'll get around to trying anything like that today, but if no one else tries it I'll see if I can make it work sometime later this week. - - - - - - - - Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@rpi.edu or gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA
