Short: Purges binary data from MIME spool files Author: simon@studio.woden.com (Simon N Goodwin) Uploader: simon studio woden com (Simon N Goodwin) Type: comm/mail Version: 1.1 Replaces: comm/mail/OctetPurger.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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.
