Hi Don!

http://planetarydomains.com  If you, or anyone else here has any suggestions
or find anything that doesn't make sense, please let me know.  It is my
first website, and I'm looking for constructive feedback.

I never figured out EDM.  Believe it or not, I still use a 10 year old (at
least) DOS program called the Word Perfect Office Editor (ED.EXE), which
came with the Word Perfect DOS version way back then.  It's fast, has macros
than can be run from the command line, and has always worked well for ECS
.cfg editing.  Unfortunately, it has gotten a bit quirky under the later
versions of DOS.

Anyway - when I get a break - I'll try it with EDM and see how it goes.  :)

Hey Stranger!

What's your webpage URL?

I think you can probably do that with POSTIE. Once you have checked and dl
your messages, have EDM parse the mail and if a particular header exists,
have EDM write a file. ECS can then check for that file, and act
accordingly.


Easy huh? <vbg>
