Program: QF-MAIL v2.0d beta - Compiled on 01-11-93 Description: PPE (PCBoard Programming Executable) that you can replace the E)nter a Message Command in your FidoNet Netmail conference. This version works ONLY with Rob Kittredge's QFront. Also has the ability to be used as an online FidoNet nodelist browser. Installation: Installation is very simple, just unzip these files to a directory of your choice. Take a minute to edit the QF-MAIL.CNF to contain the propper paths to fit your system. Run PCBSETUP and edit your CMD.LST file in your FidoNet Netmail conference so it will run this program in place of PCBoards (E) command. (remember that each PCBoard conference can have it's own CMD.LST file so changing the (E) command will not effect any other conferences) EXAMPLE ------- 1) E 0 C:\PCB\PPE\QF-MAIL.PPE * With QFront you have the option of whether or not you want to use a PCBoard Netmail conference. In order to use QF-MAIL you must have a Netmail conference defined in QFront. Conference Name (#7) : NetMail Auto-Rejoin into this Conf. : N Additional Conference Security : 0 Allow Viewing Conf. Members : N Additional Conference Time : 0 Make All Uploads Private : N Level to Save File Attachment : 0 Make All Messages Private : Y Level to Enter a Message : 0 Echo Mail in Conference : Y Level to Request Return Receipt: 231 <--- Force Echo on All Messages : Y Level to Enter Carbon List Msgs: 0 Allow Internet (long) TO: Names : Y Carbon Copy List Limit : 0 Make Conference Read-Only : N Disallow Private Messages : N Place ORIGIN Info in Messages : N Prompt for ROUTE Info : N Allow Aliases to be used : N Show INTRO in `R A' Scan : N Maintain Old MSGS.NDX File : N Conf-Specific CMD.LST File : D:\PCB\F7\CMD.LST (Example above) Many sysops have reported problems with QF-Mail not writing the proper info on the proper lines. Many times the above flags can make QF-Mail work or not depending on how you have them set. I hate to ever say "fool with them until it works so I'm attempting to get QF-Mail to work "no matter what" when the above settings are followed. Be sure to set security to turn off Return Receipts and Make all msgs "Private", Echo Mail in Conference, Force Echo Mail in Conference and Long Internet TO: Names is set to -> YES. Be sure to copy the three text files Net_IN, FIDO_A and NORMAL all to the same directory as QF-MAIL.PPE. QF-MAIL.PPE is multi-lingual so it will recognize extentions when use with other languages. Installation as a BROWSE command can be added simply by appending a B after QF-MAIL.PPE. EXAMPLE ------- 1) BROWSE 0 C:\PCB\PPE\FPCBNM\QF-MAIL.PPE B Thanks To: Rob Kittredge, author of QFront, for adding the necessary command line addition to QFront to allow QF-MAIL to operate properly and for tips on making QF-MAIL what it is today.
