Introduction =============== 1.1 Legal stuff --------------- MM_RestoreBad is a script for Mail Manager by Pino Aliberti to restore msgs tossed into your #BADDIR. You need MM >= v1.2 to run it!

You know, it is frustrating to write programs and there are no responses from the users if they like it or not... But of course money is also welcome. ;-) Accepting these few points is the only condition for using MM_RestoreBad... ============================================================================= The author is not responsible for any problems caused by using this program! ============================================================================= 1.2 General stuff ----------------- I am not the best in writing doc, but quiet good in coding I think :-) This docs are a bit short I have to appolognize, but I hope you'll understand it anyway... Especially my English and the typo's ;-) If there is anybody out there who is able to & wants translate the docs to his own language, please do so and send them to me! I'll add them to the next release. Also translators always will get the newest betas! ;-) Unfortunatly I don't have the will & time to translate my docs even to German - my time is better used for coding :-) 1.3 Author ---------- If you have suggestions or remarks about this program, or if you find any bugs, please let me know.

Features =========== MM_RestoreBad... ... has a GUI to show the bad-msgs by real areatag & sender ... is able to restore the bad msgs to their original areas without causing dupes - nobody will know that the msg was bad ;-) ... is able to resore just a single msg or multiple marked ones 3. Installation =============== 1. Copy the MM-files to the corresponding MM:*/-directories. 2. Add these lines to your MM.cfg: #BROWSEMENU "Restore msg" "rx MM:Rexx/MM_RestoreBad %a MSG %n" "" #BROWSEMENU "Restore marked msgs" "rx MM:Rexx/MM_RestoreBad %a MARKED" "" #BROWSEMENU "Select & Restore msgs" "rx MM:Rexx/MM_RestoreBad %a GUI" "" 4. Usage: ========= [RX] MM_RestoreBad[.rexx] BADAREA/A,MSG/K/N,MARKED/S,GUI/S,NOREQ/S,EXPORT/S BADAREA The name of your badarea. Normally you should use %a for the area-name, because MM_RestoreBad does a check if you are in the correct area. MSG Msgnumber of the current msg MARKED Restore all marked msgs GUI Use its GUI to select the msgs to restore NOREQ Don't ask, just do it :-) EXPORT Perform a SMARTEXPORT after restoring msgs 5. Theory of operation ====================== Basicly MM_RestoreBad is just a GUI for the MM_MoveMsg-command of MM >=1.2. With this command, you are now alble to move a msg from any area to another one. The GUI does only search for msgs moved to bad due to the node was not linked. For any other case, please select the msgs yourself by marking them. The selected msgs will just be read, checked if the area in the AREA:-kludge does exist and if so, move it there. If wanted, export those areas. Very simple, isn't it? ;-)) 6. Acknowledgements =================== Pino Aliberti For his EXCELLENT Mail Manager! For implementing nearly all I wanted (this was much work I think and delayed the release of MM for some month ;-)) For our hard but fair fights in MMBETA and at least for the nice note about me in the docs 8^)))) _ o Robert Hofmann 2:2490/1015@FidoNet 37:108/220@TrekNet |<)_/# 39:171/101@AmigaNet 107:1805/230@TrekNet TT
