INTRODUCTION
|
||
This Lafite package allows you to unpack an Arpa Network digest, such as AIList, into its constituent messages. An new item, "Undigest," is placed on the browser menu. When a single message (presumably a digest) is selected, clicking on this item will delete the selected message, and append the constituent messages to the end of the mail folder. If the selected message is not a digest, or is a digest in a format that cannot be parsed properly, then a message will be printed and nothing will happen to the mail folder.
|
||
USER OPTIONS
|
||
*DELETE-DIGEST-FLAG*, if T means that the digest message should be deleted if it is successfully parsed. The default is T.
|
||
*MOVE-TO-FIRST-DIGEST-MESSAGE-FLAG*, if T means to select the first constituent message, if NIL means to select the first undeleleted message after the digest message. The default is NIL.
|
||
*DONT-UPDATE-HEADERS-FLAG*, if T means not to copy the To: field from the digest to each constituent message. The default is NIL.
|
||
PLANNED ENHANCEMENTS
|
||
Inserting the contained messages immediately after the digest, rather than appending.
|
||
Moving the contained messages to a different mail folder.
|
||
NOTES
|
||
Many digests are not in the correct format. The parser used in this program tries to be very forgiving, and hence, is relatively slow (about 10 seconds to parse a digest on a Dorado). If everyone adhered to RFC934, the parser could be optimized for speed, but, alas, this is not the case.
