Hi,
I was wondering if QWK stores the messages you read into the REP
packet? Do you need to use QWKE?

This question doesn't make too much sense to me, but I'll try... The REP packet contains your *REPLIES* to messages that you've read. If you
read a packet of messages but don't make any replies, there won't be a
REP generated.

The QWKE format really has nothing to do with REP packets, per se. It's
a specification that includes additional headers/info/kludges in the
packets exchanged between the user and the BBS.



... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.

Oh, ok. So downloading messages automatically marks them as read?

21 Aug 2023 20:27, you wrote to me:

Any plans to make netmail available for normal (nntp) users?

That'd be kind of weird. You can't *send* FTN netmail via NNTP, so the user would have no way to reply. News (nntp) readers aren't really expecting 1:1 (e.g. netmail) messaging in the first place.

Of course it'd be more complicated than making netmail available to terminal or web-interface users... But if you use NNTP to participate in echomail areas, it may be convenient to have access to netmail.

JamNNTPd's author found a way to do it:

==========================

6.7 Netmail
-----------
JamNNTPd now also supports netmail. In netmail areas, users can only read messages to or from one of the names configured in the jamnntpd.users file. Replies to netmails are handled transparently and the name and address of
the recipient are taken from the original message. When a user wants to write
a new netmail, the name and address of the recipient are specified on the
first line of the new message using this format:

To: name,address

Example:

To: Johan Billing, 2:15/87

A To: line can also be used to specify an alternative recipient in both
netmail and echomail areas.

No, REP packets only contain responses from you, including messages and requested to add/drop areas (and maybe others?). REP packets do not
include the messages you only read and don't respond to.

whats lmodem?

In the Atari BBS world back in the 80's, Keith Ledbetter wrote BBS:Express Pro and BBS:Express ST. LModem was a protocol he designed for his BBSes.

I was just mentioning it to Phigan as a joke...

You forgot the old C= standard, Punter!

Thank you, well dont have time to write a script for that, was just putting it out there for if there is another Synchronet BBS update, it might be worth adding in. Maybe I'll talk to Marisa, maybe she can add it, since she is hosting me :) Its not that big a deal as I only have one person like that and I can manually edit it, in UEDIT it looks like.

not sure how comfortable you are with custom stuff, but it should be possible to run a little baja script in place of the name input line..

in TEXT.DAT you would change 339 to @EXEC:GETNAME@

and then GETNAME.SRC would have some code to display the prompt, do GETSTR, check for Van, Mc, etc, and then UNGETSTR to place the result into the input.

then you would have to disable the stuff that enforces the case of the last name because your script would be doing it.

or just disable the automatic case enforcement of their name, skip all this entirely and let them do it. it's their name after all ;)

No Im paying monthly, and I thought it might be a helpful addition to Synchronet, but I guess now one wants it so nevermind, just trying to offer helpful suggestions, probably too late for that now since its 2023, haha. Only about 30years too late.

Re: Re: Web Interface Telnet
By: Ree to Holdfast on Mon Aug 21 2023 03:09 am

Seems to work on the http version of the bbs and not the https. I still have to figure this one out.

There's two ports that need to be opened for fTelnet -- 1123 is used when connecting via HTTP, and 11235 is used when connecting via HTTPS.

So hopefully opening that second port will do the trick.

AHHH! Port 11235 being opened allowed https telnet to work. Thanks!!
