Jealous of the people who can set up their UUCP software to import 
email to different conferences?  No need to turn green, because now you can 
do the exact same thing.  All you need are the contents of this zipfile:
        TH-M2C.DOC -- This instruction manual,
        TH-M2C.CFG -- A sample configuration file,
        TH-M2C.PPE -- The actual program that does the work.
     You also need to be using PCBoard 15.21 or higher, as this PPE uses 
functions that weren't added until the 15.21 beta test.

     Here's how to set it up:

     1) Each address that you want to import to a conference must be unique.  
So each time you subscribe to a mailing list for this purpose you must use a 
different email address.  For example, you could subscribe to the classic 
mustangs list as classmust-l@yourbbs.com and the electronic Annals of 
Improbable Research as miniair-l@yourbbs.com.  Or if you're not feeling 
creative, you could just subscribe to the lists as a@yourbbs.com, 
b@yourbbs.com, etc.  <grin>

     2) Set up one conference on your BBS for each newsgroup.  What you name 
the conference doesn't matter much, beyond one important point: THERE MUST 
NOT BE ANY SPACES IN THE CONFERENCE NAME.  The conference should also be set 
up as a MODERATED newsgroup.  Tell PCBoard that the moderator's address 
is the address that submissions to the list should be sent to.  The reason
for this is that UUOUT program will then send public posts in the conference
to the list and private posts to the individual recipient your caller
addressed it to.

     3) Create a .CFG file.  You should have one line for each mailing list. 
Put the conference number first, then a space, and then the email address 
that the messages are coming to.  For example, on my BBS, I subscribed to 
the Annals of Improbable Research as list-air@teamhbbs.com, and I post those 
messages to conference 224, so the entry in my .CFG looks like this:

244 list-air

     Make sure there are no blank lines in the file, as the first blank line 
will be treated as the end.  (Footnote: if you rename TH-M2C.PPE to some 
other name, you must rename TH-M2C.CFG to the same name.)

     4) Add a line to the event that imports your email.  IMPORTANT: 
TH-M2C.PPE must run _BEFORE_ UUIN.EXE.  My line looks like this:

pcboardm /ppe:c:\pcb\ppl\th-m2c\th-m2c.ppe

     Naturally, if you're not using the multiport version of PCBoard, change 
"pcboardm" to "pcboard", and if you put TH-M2C.PPE somewhere else on your 
system, change the path to match your setup.

     Here's a sample mailrun event file (freely adapted from my own event) to
make the above a little clearer:

UUOUT
rem th-sig is a freeware program that puts a BBS signature on outgoing posts.
pcboardm /ppe:c:\pcb\ppl\th-sig\th-sig.ppe
UUXFER -s holonet
pcboardm /ppe:c:\pcb\ppl\th-m2c\th-m2c.ppe
UUIN -f

     Pretty simple, huh?

     Here's the complicated stuff:

     TH-M2C.PPE is shareware.  That means that the program is copyright: I 
own the program, and I am the only person who may make changes in how it 
looks or works.  I assign limited rights to distribute the program: you may
give a copy to anybody you want as long as you give them the entire package 
(the ppe, this document file, and the sample cfg file) and as long as you make
no changes in any of the files.

     Since the program is shareware, if you continue using it, you have to 
register it.  Registration costs a mere $5 (although you're welcome to send 
more if you really want to).  Registration entitles you to:

     a) Email support in setting up and maintaining the program.
     b) Free updates via email if I upgrade the program.
     c) Consideration of your requests for enhancments.  (I won't promise to
        do whatever you ask, but if you don't register, I won't even promise
        to _read_ your requests.  <grin>)

     To register send $5 and your email address to:
        Steven Karp
        2124 Kittredge St #44
        Berkeley, CA  94704

     Standard shareware disclaimers apply:

     a) The program works on my system.  I don't guarantee that it'll work 
        for you.
     b) If it doesn't work -- or even if it does -- and you or your BBS suffer
        any damage, it's not my problem, nor do I have any obligation to help
        you fix it (though I'll try).
     c) I will guarantee that deleting the program from your hard drive will
        will result in a little more free space.
