If you would like to provide a catalog for these, email them to me
and I'll post it on my web page and include them in the next update.
Basics
---------
These two programs and the ARexx scripts to envoke them allow you to
rewrap badly formatted mail, change headers, do minor final editing of
mail, insert MUI control codes, and convert quoted-printable formatted
mail to 8bit plain text.
Though these were written with Marcel Beck's YAM in mind, they should
work fine with any mailer that stores its mail in individual files.
Note that YTCreformat works quite well with ANY text file.
Requirements
---------------
Nothing additional required (except MUI, of course).
Quick Start
-----------
Copy the programs, their icons, and the *.rexx files into the Yam:rexx
directory. If you put them somewhere else, you'll need to edit the rexx
script variable for each program location.
Add the scripts to the YAM rexx menu or place them on an URB button.
Select a mail in YAM and run the rexx script.
If you don't know about URB, look on Aminet:
URB.lha util/misc Ubiquitous Resource Bars v1.0
The Arexx scripts are not necessary if you run these from URB, CLI, or
similar launcher.
