 SR>>> How do I find out what mail is waiting in my outbound queue?

 ml>> BSO?
 ml>> are you using binkd?
 ml>> are you on linux?

 ml>> if the answers to all of the above are yes, then i might have a bash
script that will do what you are wanting...

 SR> I used showold.pl but wouldnt mind a look at a bash script

  https://github.com/wkitty42/waitingoutmail

for 4D BSO, one only need to edit the one line in the script that points to the
outbound... instead of it ending in "/*" like for 5D BSO, drop the '/' since
all outbound directories use the same directory name...

with 5D, if one's tosser and mailer can handle it, the script will tell which
network (based on the outbound dir name) the mail is destined for...

it should work ok on 80 column screens but it was developed on a 227 column
layout...

it tells you the FTN address, the hex of the address, the number of files
waiting, how long the oldest one has been waiting, the next delivery attempt,
and the last delivery attempt status...
