*** Quoting Larry Eggers from a message to Michael Dillon *** LE> Hi Mike, the following is a low priority item. No need to rush into LE> it...unless you want to. LE> I've been noticing something peculiar about AMail. Whenever a LE> message area is shared with a *.msg base, AMail will always insist LE> that any message that originates from the *.msg area comes from zone LE> 1, when in reality it may have originated from zone 282 (or any other LE> zone). For me, it's just a minor annoyance at best, but when you LE> have a chance, could you look into that?? Duely noted. Sounds like just a minor parsing error that is fixable. Main priority now is to handle excessively large messages. I'm not talking a 40kb message. But more rather a 250k+ message that is very hard to handle on a normal basis. Also this is more a restriction of DOS 16-bit. OS/2, DOS 32-bit, Windows, and the like can allocate enough memory to process the entire packet as a whole instead of reading parts. This isn't always a desired method because you could end up allocating large sums of memory for a single file. So I'm going to continue the process of reading it piece by piece (since this is the most "portable" way). I have to just figure a method for telling AMail that a message is large and needs to be read more before being tossed or otherwise. Excuse me if I'm being redundant but I just like to clarify :) Mike --- Telegard v3.09.g2-sp4/mL* Origin: Raptor Pack BBS - The Birds Of Prey (1:11/200.11) SEEN-BY: 11/200 24/903 120/544 123/500 261/38 633/260 262 267 270 285 640/954 SEEN-BY: 774/605 2432/200 @PATH: 11/200 261/38 123/500 774/605 633/260 285 |
