Short: Purges binary data from MIME spool files
Author: simon@studio.woden.com (Simon N Goodwin)
Uploader: simon@studio.woden.com (Simon N Goodwin)
Version: 1.1
Type: comm/mail
Replaces: comm/mail/OctetPurger.lha
Freeware utility to scan a MIME-encoded mail file and
remove octet-binary encoded chunks - which are large and
generally not worth archiving with the message texts.
Updated documentation and HiSoft BASIC source code are
included.
I wrote this because I got sick of going through export
files generated by YAM, on a monthly basis, ripping out
all the binary sections by hand. YAM 2 will hopefully do
this automatically, but until then...
REQUIREMENTS
ASL.library
MIME mail software - tested with output from YAM 1.3
HiSoft BASIC - if you wish to modify and recompile it.
HISTORY
Version 1.1 FIX always copies everything up to first
'--BOUNDARY' - the earlier version might not, due to a
difference of opinion between HiSoft and the author over
the correct interpretation of Boolean NOT (they seem to
think NOT 1 is TRUE, whereas I expected it to be FALSE).
And as I wrote the original HB parser, this change for
'Microsoft compatiblity ;-(' passed me by.
