Hello? Is anyone else even here? Is this mailing list still functional? Does anyone care? Hello?

Hello! Just thought I'd throw out this feature request... Any chance of getting a "Print Letter" function added in the next release...? Thanks! |

I sent the following email to the MultiMail author (William McBrine) in July of this year but did not receive a response. Does anyone know the status of MultiMail and its author? William, Hi, I’m the author of Synchronet BBS software, one of the few remaining supported and developed BBS software packages and ever fewer that have internal QWK support. Anyway, I was working on the QWKE support in Synchronet (the QWKE support was very incomplete to date) and was using Multimail (the current source snapshot of 0.50 from sourceforge) and have been trying to complete the QWKE support in Multimail (e.g. supporting “To” fields > 25 chars) and have been considering adding support for Synchronet QWK HEADERS.DAT file (which makes all the QWKE “standard” and other kludge lines unnecessary). I was curious if you are still working on Multimail, excepting patches, want to discuss what I’ve found so far with QWKE support, etc.? This email address will work fine for correspondence, but I’m also often in #synchronet at irc.synchro.net (as digitalman) if you’re so inclined. Thanks for supporting BBSes and QWK! -Rob |

Hi All, I downloaded Multimail version .046, I'm using a Windows XP Pro machine. And I've got some problems and I need help, (with the program of course, my other problems, I doubt you all could help me with.hehe) PKUNZIP is not wanting to unzip .QWK Packets. I've got pkzip in my root directory, in windows/system and in windows/system32 It brings up pkunzip and attempts to decompress, but it doesn't work. It had some switches in there, But I was told to change it to pkunzip with a -o switch. same for pkzip, needless to say, it didn't work. I do have the archiver setting on the BBS I telnet to, set to ZIP, it's the only one they offer. :-) To the author, Nice program, however, you need to make some serious changes. Like telling the program, in the mmail.rc file, to look for achieving files in a certain directory. Also, you need to work on making this a "true blue" windows program, not a DOS program with a Window Port. Any suggestions on how to the compression work? Thanks, -Chuck Lincoln Park, Michigan (Near Detroit) |

You didn't say on which platform you are running or what type of mail
packet you are trying to read. I suspect that many are using SOUP
packets created on a unix machine by a program such as uqwk, and
then compressed with a program such as zip. Multimail reads several
types of packets. See the man page that comes with the multimail
source code, "mm.1". Did you compile multimail yourself or get a
precompiled binary? The configuration file is created when you first
run multimail and is called "mmail.rc". I am using Multimail 0.41 with
slightly modified source code on DOS, but I don't think any of this
has changed.

I tried it with HIMEM.SYS loaded but without EMM386. It still
runs fine on my system. I did have a user who had memory problems
running lynx in DOS, where the problem turned out to be wrong
settings in CONFIG.SYS. Do you have at least FILES=100; BUFFERS=30,0;
STACKS=32,256; FCBS=16,0? If not, do these settings make a difference?

Try it without EMM386 (i.e., with just HIMEM). That was the problem configuration I ran into... Since EMM386 is yet another memory manager, it complicates things. Meanwhile, I should try it _with_ EMM386... -- William McBrine <wmc...@us...> |

I just downloaded and tested the precompiled version of multimail for
DOS (MMDOS043.ZIP). It works fine on my system, with HIMEM loaded.
This is MS-DOS 6.22 with HIMEM version 3.10 (dated 09/30/93) and
EMM386.EXE version 4.49 (using switches NOEMS and HIGHSCAN). This is a
Pentium 75 machine with 8 Meg of RAM. So it seems that neither PMODE
nor HIMEM is necessarily the culprit.

I use Multimail compiled with DJGPP on DOS all the time without this
problem. I am using MS-DOS 6.22 with HIMEM installed. I don't believe
there is a problem with HIMEM itself. However, I have never used it
with PMODE as the DPMI server, just with CWSDPMI. Are you using the
latest version (1.3) of PMODE? Try compiling with either no DPMI stub
in the executable or with CWSDSTUB.EXE from the CWSDPMI version 5
distribution as your DPMI stub.
If you want, I can try your executable on my machine to see what
happens. Are you talking about the precompiled version on the
Multimail site? I haven't recompiled lately and am using version 0.41
with my own modifications. (I had sent you patches which you decided
not to include in the general distribution.) I have Multimail running
on a Pentium 75 machine with 8 Meg RAM.
If there is a problem with the PMODE stub, we should probably let
Charles Sandmann know

While I'm posting here, I do have something that I'd like to get some feedback about, if possible: The other day I discovered that the DOS (i.e., 386 / DJGPP-compiled) version of MultiMail seems to be incompatible with HIMEM.SYS (or at least the version provided with MS-DOS 6.22). Believe it or not, I'd never run this particular combination before; but I recently picked up a used 486 laptop that had been stripped of everything before I got it. So the first thing I did was to install DOS*, and the second thing was to install MultiMail. :-) What happened was, the system crashed whenver an external editor was called. This was true with both edit.com and q.exe. The odd thing was, I could open packets -- i.e., call pkzip.exe -- with no trouble, and the same system() call is used to launch both editors and archivers. The problem went away if I used MultiMail/XT. Eventually I added Win 3.1, and found that if I ran MultiMail/DOS in a DOS box under Windows, it worked fine. This suggested a DPMI issue (since running MMDOS under Windows uses Windows' DPMI server instead of the PMODE/DJ stub that's attached to MMDOS). But I already knew that MMDOS worked fine on a plain DOS (5.0) 386 system. The only noteworthy thing was that HIMEM.SYS had been included in the CONFIG.SYS by the MS-DOS install. So I tried commenting that out; after which MMDOS worked fine, which seems to confirm that HIMEM.SYS was the problem. I'm not entirely surprised by this -- it's not the first case of memory manager conflicts I've heard of with MMDOS, though I hadn't run into that in my own use -- and it might account for some old, vague bug reports that had gone unexplained. But it's disappointing that it's taken this long for me to find out about it. Has anyone else noticed this? Can you confirm or refute it on your own systems? * Eventually I expect to make it a Linux system, but it has no CDROM. I figure to do a network install, but first I need a working network card. -- William McBrine <wmc...@us...> |
