  • Adding extra function regarding Echo areas

    From Vincent Coen@2:250/1 to All on Fri Feb 11 15:47:31 2022
    Hello All!

    Is it possible to allow for the usage of some areas such as Netmail to operate as a .msg area so that I can easily read specific msg areas with another program?

    I need to be able to search such an area in sequence processing each one in a given network area then delete each after processing.

    I tried to find a good block of code say written in C or using a C call interface that does similar but cannot find one at all let alone capable of being changed to use for the purpose.

    Sort of the opposite of mbmsg po but read giving a text file such as doing a mbmsg read 3 {msg area} path/filename or > fred.txt

    Would be very useful.
