Message-ID: <8456@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu> Date: 11 Aug 89 22:11:00 GMT Organization: University of Kansas Academic Computing Services Lines: 23 Hi All, One thing that I would like to see changed in NEWS is the handling of the /SELF qualifier when sending mail. Currently, if you do not specify /SELF, then /NOSELF is explicitly used. I would rather see the default condition left up to the setting of the mail COPY_SELF setting. This is a fairly minor change. In NEWSFORWARD.C there are two occurances of: else sprintf(&xfrbuf[strlen(xfrbuf)],"/NOSELF "); These could be changed to: else if (cli$present(c$dsc("SELF")) == CLI$_NEGATED) sprintf(&xfrbuf[strlen(xfrbuf)],"/NOSELF"); At least I think this would do it. Of course there are more efficient ways to do this, since the status of cli$present(c$dsc("SELF")) was just tested. I will leave that as an exercise for the reader. :-) +-------------------+-------------------------------------+------------------+ | Bob Sloane \Internet: SLOANE@KUHUB.CC.UKANS.EDU/Anything I said is | | Computer Center \ BITNET: SLOANE@UKANVAX.BITNET / my opinion, not my | | University of Kansas\ AT&T: (913) 864-0444 / employer's. | +-----------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------+
