Unzip the LeStrip distribution ZIP into your mail tosser directory, or a
directory of your choice. Set the LESTRIP environment variable to point to
the directory where you will keep the Config file, otherwise leave it out
and LESTRIP will search the directory it was executed from for a config file.
Edit the LESTRIP.CFG file to define your nodes and character remapping.
You are limited to One node per line (maximum of 20 nodes), a maximum
of 256 Remap statements, and a maximum of 20 DoubleMap statements.
NB !! The character mapping facility is extremely powerful - you can truly
mess up a message if you start messing around with these - imagine this -
Remap=a,b
Remap=b,c
Remap=c,d
etc.
Make sure you want it to remap those characters !
You must then configure your mail processor/front end/batch file to run
LESTRIP each time a packet is received.
This is how it is done in Gecho =>

Since I do not use FMail, I am unable to say how to set it up.
Alternatively, you may just call a batch file and run LESTRIP on the
directory with WILDCARDS eg.
LESTRIP *.PKT
That's it - it's real easy to setup, takes less than a second under a window
in Desqview on a 486/DLC-40 to identify a packet if it needs to be processed,
processes 200Kb/second if it does, and it's FREEWARE ;)

Well, here in Zone 5 we had a small little problem. A certain system, which
shall remain anonymous, had been running on Fido for a couple of years, and
had registered their programs as such -
« SomeOther Bulletin Board »
so when people entered messages, the bottom of the message would come out
as
■ QWKMail vX.XX
« SomeOther Bulletin Board »
* Origin: SomeOther Bulletin Board, South Africa (5:7107/XX)
which, in accordance with Fido policy, is a no-no due to the High Ascii in
the messages.
All of a sudden, after not having a problem for four years, they are
moderated for this ASCII in their messages. There were a few solutions
offered by everyone - Close down the node, make messages read-only or
re-register (at great expense) all the programs. Not very nice options :(
However, since Gecho has a lovely little option to run a program before a
packet is processed, and I am the hub for the above mentioned node, I
pulled out my fingers and created a constructive solution => LESTRIP was
born.
