TLIMONCE@DRUNIVAC.BITNET (Tom Limoncelli) (09/03/89)
I am now doing that everyone suggested, and now I have a new problem:
The situation:
News v5.8A. VMS 5.1. Messages arrive one at a time in MAIL like:
From:
To:
CC:
SubJ:
BitnetheadersGoHere:
Lots of stuff:
Received:
Received:
From: limonce@pilot.njin.net !this person is mailing each file
straight from /usr/spool/news/what/ever/newsgroup directly.
Etc:
Usenet Header Here:
Blah, blah, blah:
Message.
So, we have 3 header groups and the message section. I do a:
MAIL> SEL NEWMAIL
MAIL> SEL/TO=USENET
MAIL> EXTRACT/NOHEAD/ALL USENET.BATCH
MAIL> DELETE/ALL
Then I do
NEWS> add file/delete usenet.batch
The messages all go to the correct newsgroups except sometimes two or
three will get appended to eachother. Actually, it's more than
sometimes. None of this happened when I was manually extracting the
headers off with a little kludge I wrote.
Should I switch back? Will V5.9 fix this?
