I have uploaded MailHelper.tar.Z to the submissions directory of cs.orst.edu. It should show up in sources directory eventually. The compressed tar file contains full sources and the executable. --- MailHelper -- A Service Provider for NeXT Mail.app. [Requires OS Release 2.0] This application has been written as a work-around for deficiencies with the current NeXT Mail application, especially in the non-NeXT mail mode. MailHelper corrects these problems via a new feature of NextStep 2.0, i.e., via "Services" menu of the Mail application. Hopefully, this app will become obsolete when 3.0 is released. It adds the following three features. [1] It reformats pasted text in a send window so that the text fits into about 60 column width. Without reformatting, pasted-in text often appears ugly with alternating long and short lines due to inflexible line wrapping in the non-NeXT mail mode. Paragraph boundaries defined by two consecutive newline characters will be preserved. To use this service, first paste in text into a send window, select the text you want to reformat, and press "Services"---"Mail"---"Reformat Selection". [2] It adds "> " to the left of each text line of pasted text to indicate that it is quoted text. To use this service, select the text you want to indicate with the quotation marks, then press "Services"---"Mail"---"Quote Selection". You probably should reformat the text with "Reformat Selection" first before adding the quotation marks. [3] It inserts the content of file "~/.signature" at the current cursor position. When you prepare the signature file, make sure that all lines are shorter than 60 chars. Otherwise, the inserted signature text may be wrapped at undesirable locations. To do this, press "Services"---"Mail"---"Insert Signature".
