Embedded REBOL in emails
[1/6] from: edanaii:cox at: 24-Aug-2002 8:09
As some may recall, I created a program that executes REBOL commands in
email. It worked fine for a while, but recently, it started blowing up
when it tried to execute the command sent to it.
The error follows:
= Execute this! > If find Letter/Header/Subject Me Do Letter/Header/Content
** Script Error: > is missing its value2 argument
** Where: Rules
** Near: > Wait 0:00:05
The statement "Do Letter/Header/Content" is the statement that was executing. It contained
a REBOL command to "Wait 0:00:05", nothing more complicated than that.
I'm still a relative newbie to REBOL, so I'm sure it's something simple. I seem to recall
some differences between the DO and the LOAD command. Should I be using LOAD instead?
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

Is that on Amiga Ed? As there's problems with wait on Amiga. Try
this...
loop 10 [ print 1 wait 1]
I usually can't get to the end of that loop without REBOL locking up.
(Ctrl C needed to close the Console.) If you find that's the problem
- report it to feedback. It's an annoying bug, and it wouldn't hurt
to have RT reminded about it again before they bring out the next
release of REBOL. (;

Hi Ed,

Look, there seems to be a ">" before the Wait. Maybe you sent a
quoted message to it?
Regards,
Gabriele.

Damn it, Gabriele! :) I think you are on to something. I remember
forwarding some messages to the mailbox, that may have been one of them
(but I'm not sure). I guess I'm gonna have to try it again later and
make sure it isn't quoted.

Nope. Definitely not on an Amiga. It's on an AIX Risc 6000.

Problem is, I've tested before, and it worked fine. I've also used Print
(that had better work under Amiga :), and a few other simple REBOL
commands.
Gabriele may be on to something. I did forward some messages, that might
have been one of them, M$ Outhouse probably quoted it.

Yea, that was it. Thanks for the sharp eye, Gabriele.
When I forwarded it, I took out the "FW:" as well as the extra stuff
that M$ Outhouse puts in, but it looks like it put in the quoting after
I sent it.
