Instructions for install E-Mail programs in Mosaic ....Freely distributables.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, You MUST copy supplied programs Putmail, Putmail.prg, Getmail, Getmail.prg,
Editor, Sendmail, Newmail, Waittask, to your AmiTCP:bin directory, so You can access them directly.
(You can simply copy the directory amitcp/bin supplied in this archive).
Pay much attention to not overwrite existing ones if You have some.
(Putmail.prg and Getmail.prg are 68020/AmiTCPv4 versions;
You can take the 68000 versions from aminet/comm/tcp: PutMail3.lha, GetMail3.lha)
Second: You MUST edit the amitcp:bin/Editor file that You have copied, to change the line:
amitcp:bin/waittask "CygnusEd ver. 3.5+"
putting here the TASK name of your preferred Editor, because if You use an editor that
runs asyncronous from CLI (like that the cursor reappears on your line command when You launch it from CLI)
this command line waits for the task finished (It's a MUST for Mosaic).
How You can see, in this text, I used CygnusEd like example.
To obtain the taskname of your editor You can use one of public domain
programs as ARTM, TASKLIST or similar. (N.B. TASK name is not SCREEN name).
You can use original OS3.0 ED instead, and then You can delete this line because ED
is not asyncronous from CLI. (I think... I not tried it !?).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third, You MUST edit the AmiTCP:bin/Putmail file to put in it the name of your mailbox and you E-Mail Host.
So, modify this line:
amitcp:bin/putmail.prg MAIL {FILE} TO {TO} SMTPHOST YourE-MAILhost HOME ram:home REPLYTO YourAddressComplete NOSIG NOHEAD
-------------- -------- -------------------
Example (see also putmail.doc for more informations):
Change YourE-MAILhost with mail.aaa.it
-------------- -----------
to tell to putmail that Your mailbox is on the mail server: mail.aaa.it.
Change ram:home with ram:blabla
-------- ----------
if ram:blabla is the name of your HOME directory (used by putmail & getmail).
The best thing is to put the line 'makedir ram:home' in your user-startup.
(Never USE 'setenv HOME ram:home' because Mosaic will crash loading first gif image !!).
Change YourAddressComplete with user@mail.aaa.it
------------------- ----------------
specifying Your E-Mail Address (where the others must send the replies).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You must do the same thing editing the file AmiTCP:bin/Getmail and specifying:
YourPassword to access to E-Mail of Your mailbox.
------------
YourE-MailAddressFull and YourE-MailHost to tell to the program from where it must take the mail.
--------------------- --------------
Please, refer to getmail.doc for more informations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now You must add few lines to Your ENVARC:mosaic/prefs file:
Sendmail amitcp:bin/sendmail
Editor amitcp:bin/editor
RexxMacro1 Add to Hotlist | "ADDRESS COMMAND 'RUN <>NIL: AMITCP:AMHotlist QUICKADD'"
RexxMacro2 Hotlist... | "ADDRESS COMMAND 'RUN <>NIL: AMITCP:AMHotlist'"
RexxMacro3 Get Mail | "ADDRESS COMMAND 'RUN <>NIL: amitcp:bin/getmail'"
RexxMacro4 Edit New Mail | "ADDRESS COMMAND 'amitcp:bin/newmail'"
RexxMacro5 Send New Mail | "ADDRESS COMMAND 'amitcp:bin/sendmail'"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ensure that Your AmiTCP:bin/startnet or Your user-startup includes the line:
setenv USER YourUserName
(to tell to Putmail & Getmail who sends the E-Mail).
And ensure also obviously that:
- Your preferred Ed is in Your c: directory or change the lines invoking it
in the files: AmiTCP:bin/Editor and AmiTCP:bin/Newmail.
- 'More' program is in your sys:utilities directory or change the line in AmiTCP:bin/getmail.
- Getmail, Putmail, Newmail, Editor batch files have 's' flag turned on or issue from CLI the commands:
cd amitcp:bin
protect getmail srwed
protect putmail srwed
protect newmail srwed
protect editor srwed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now installation is complete !!!
Reset Your machine to automatic install new mosaic prefs file in ENV: .
From the Mosaic, to read arrived E-Mail, select 'Get Mail' from the Rexx Menu,
and read incoming messages, (if there is some).
From the Mosaic, to send E-Mail to someone simply click on his address
and You will enter to Your Ed, write something, or quit if You don't want,
and this message will be send to the address You clicked on. (That's great!!!)
From the Mosaic, to write new message select 'Edit New Mail' from the Rexx menu,
edit a Mail, writing in the first line, after the keyword 'To: ', the complete
E-Mail address You want to send to; in the other lines write your mail,
then save & quit (maintaining the same name: T:mail.out).
To send this message select 'Send New Mail' from the Rexx menu.
N.B. Remember that You MUST activate REXX before run Mosaic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can use 'Getmail' and 'Putmail' commands also from CLI typing:
Getmail .....to read arrived E-Mail from the rest of world.
Putmail ram:blabla to someone .....to send the ASCII file ram:blabla to user: someone
---------- -------
Or You can edit and send new mail typing from CLI:
Newmail .....to edit the E-Mail
Sendmail .....to send the E-Mail
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wrote waittask, newmail, sendmail programs so if You have some trouble, send me an E-Mail.
I will see If I can solve Your problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Martin Lanza for great programs that I renamed Getmail.prg and Putmail.prg
downloading them from Aminet.
Thanks also to the Amiga for being the best computer forever.... (Fuck PCs!!)
