 NB> Hello Gaylen,

 Hello Nicholas,

 NB> I'm assuming you're referring to the netmail notice makenl creates, and
 NB> not the
 NB>  actual output file of your segment process, but..

 I am.  forgive me as I've been a sysop for a number of years and have
always before used the Front Door type of mailer most recently Irex
using, of course, arcmail file attach. :)

 NB> You might want to check makenl's settings to see if rather than
 NB> creating a netmail message in .MSG format, if you could save the
 NB> contents to a text file. Then you could use MUTIL to import that text
 NB> file to your netmail area with the
 NB>  desired FROM, TO, and SUBJ fields (if they aren't already there) so it
 NB> could be sent off to your uplink.

 Interesting concept and yes, should be doable. :)

 NB> Otherwise, you could just ditch the settings for the netmail creation
 NB> (in makenl), and run a batch file/script that runs makenl to process
 NB> your nodelist segment, then copy/move it to the proper filebox for your
 NB> uplink. If the netmail is necessary, and makenl isn't able to do so in
 NB> this circumstance, you could create your own text file with the
 NB> contents of what you would like to include as a netmail message, and
 NB> then part of your batch file/script could import that text file to your
 NB> netmail area during the process.

 Hmmm, so in essence you're saying that the netmail should not be necessary
under most conditions?

 NB> A little more manual intervention comes with BSO, but once scripted
 NB> properly shouldn't need to be messed with again afterwards.

 Yes, got a few hours over this coming weekend... gonna have to look at
all this.  I've done worse workarounds in the past... some of them even
turned out well. :)


If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?
