Short: AMosaic Post/Follow up News & Mail to Author Author: john.blyth@edserv.monash.edu.au (John Blyth) Uploader: john blyth edserv monash edu au Type: comm/net Architecture: m68k-amigaos WriteNews2.www is an Arexx Macro for Amosaic. When you have a news article open in AMosaic, it enables you to Post a new article to the same newsgroup(s), followup the posting with another posting on that subject, or email a reply to the author of the posting. Tested with AS225r2 and Amosaic1.4beta & 2.0beta, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work with the Amitcp version, with any appropriate changes required. REQUIRES: Rexreqtools, & reqtools.library You will need SMTPpost and NNTPpost from INETUtils1.4 (Aminet: comm/net) so read the docs on these utilities! HISTORY: version 1.05 written by Gary Gallagher. He did the hard work! version 2 updated so that * whole of message including sig file presented to editor * references & newsgroups were parsed with PARSE command * options were presented to Send/Edit/List/Abort in main loop (I didn't like not knowing what was going on) * extracted user's realname and mailaddress * extracted html codes from body of text article so that NNTP postings were clean * added Mail function to reply to Author version 2.1 get mosaic's pubscreen name * changed loop so that sigfile is appended only when set or when listing. This will enable an editor macro to position the cursor at the bottom of the file ready for editing version 2.2 * is now called from currently running version (removed address amosaic.1 calls) * added "USEWB" option for editors that won't run on anything but Workbench, or for added speed (Workbench running in lass colours etc) * put postnews & postmail options at top of file * added script to get newsgroup for POST option when listing of news articles is presented (don't have to open article) version 2.3 * tidy up for posting to AMinet TO DO: Any suggestions? perhaps requester for domains? or a search function for newsgroups? Let me know.... BUGS: * I hope not THANKS TO: Gary Gallagher (who or whereever you are) and the AMosaic team. Michael O'Connell for trying it out for me
