[alt.sources.wanted] Un-digest-ify program wanted

) (05/20/91)

I'd like a program to un-digest-ify newsgroups which are presented in digest
format, such as comp.risks and alt.humor.oracle.

We're running Waffle BBS software on MS-DOS, so clearly I'm going to have to
do some porting. We do have the standard tools such as awk, grep and sed.

Can anyone help?

hmmm, in GNUS we have:
gnus-Subject-rmail-digest:
Run RMAIL on current digest article.
gnus-Select-digest-hook will be called with no arguments, if that
value is non-nil. It is possible to modify the article so that Rmail
can work with it.
gnus-Rmail-digest-hook will be called with no arguments, if that value
is non-nil. The hook is intended to customize Rmail mode.

and there are some other ways in GNUS people have posted recently.

well, GNUS depends on GNU Emacs... so you might have an impasse there
with the DOS...
