[REBOL] Mail and News
From: mario::cassani::icl::com at: 29-Jun-2001 10:48
Hallo REBOL people,
I am using the following code to create a summary of
the new mail I receive but (thanks to the "excellent" MS
Exchange Server) there are messages without the "To:" header
value making the script give error...
msgheader: join msgcnt [
" From: " first msg/from
" To: " first msg/to
" Subject: " msg/subject
" Date: " msg/date
]
Having a lot of messages coming from mailing list (REBOL to
mention one ;)), I'd like to minimize the overhead of big,
long checks like:
either not none? msg/from [
] [
]
either not none? msg/to [
] [
]
I prefer to use some function to convert msg/from in
something else.
In addition I try to position myself on the last
known
message the next time I check for new mail:
box: open pop://...
skip box msgcnt
while [not tail? box] [
msg: import-email first box ; I think 'first messes
; ...
next box
msgcnt: msgcnt + 1
]
this doesn't work and I can live without it for mail but not
for news!
How can I solve these problems?
Thank you for your help
