Hi All,
One thing that I would like to see changed in NEWS is the handling of the
/SELF qualifier when sending mail. Currently, if you do not specify /SELF,
then /NOSELF is explicitly used. I would rather see the default condition
left up to the setting of the mail COPY_SELF setting. This is a fairly minor
change. In NEWSFORWARD.C there are two occurances of:
else sprintf(&xfrbuf[strlen(xfrbuf)],"/NOSELF ");
These could be changed to:
else if (cli$present(c$dsc("SELF")) == CLI$_NEGATED)
sprintf(&xfrbuf[strlen(xfrbuf)],"/NOSELF");
At least I think this would do it. Of course there are more efficient ways to
do this, since the status of cli$present(c$dsc("SELF")) was just tested. I
will leave that as an exercise for the reader. :-)
