Email Headers ?

 [1/4] from: pwawood:mango:my at: 20-Feb-2004 18:57


I'm just starting to learn Rebol and would appreciate some advice on where to look in the documentation to see how to get hold of email message headers without downloading the message first. As I understand it, import-email needs the message to be downloaded first. Peter

Re: Email Headers ? Hi Peter, Unfortunately, you will not find this in the doc, as Rebol standard POP protocol doesn't handle reading part of a message. But here is a simple code than show you how to do it by yourself. ;--- Will receive the header objects emails: copy [] ;--- open your mailbox mb: open pop://user:[pass--pop--server-name] ;--- point on [message-num size-of-message] pairs sizes: mb/locals/sizes ;--- for each message-num and size foreach [mesg-num size] sizes [ ;--- Here we insert "manually" the command not handled by the standard pop:// protocol ; First send the request insert mb/sub-port rejoin ["TOP " pick mb/locals/msg-nums mb/state/index + mesg-num " 0"] ; second, wait for the correct answer net-utils/confirm mb/sub-port [ none "+OK" ] ; then pick in the answer received the message header without the content headers: mb/handler/read-til-dot mb make string! 1024 ;--- Append to the msg block the email object obtained from the string header form append emails import-email headers ] ;--- The result probe emails Hope it helps DideC

Maybe just using Didier's email filter would be a good start.
