We thank everyone who has helped support PMMail by
alleviating some of the burden of developing utilities for PMMail. If
you think you have a good idea for a needed utility and want to write
one, feel free to contact
us (info@blueprintsoftwareworks.com) for any information
that you might need to help you write the utility.
All of these utilities come with very good documentation
that must be read prior to using them. Please note
that neither Blueprint Software Works, nor the individual third party
authors are responsible for any damage done to data on your harddrive,
related to PMMail, or not.
Any list of PMMail Utilities for OS/2 would be incomplete
without mentioning the Hobbes archive site. PMMail boasts the only mail
product for OS/2 to get its own directory on Hobbes. To keep up to date,
we have provided this link to view
the PMMail directory on Hobbes. Once there, please look at the file
00index.txt for good descriptions of all of the utilities up there.
New ones arrive each week, so be sure to check it often!

Ultimail 2.10.004 to PMMail
converter
by Torben Schou Jensen
Corrections until now have been:
- 1997.03.26 v1.0
- First version
- 1997.03.27 v1.1
- Source directory must now be given as parameter as its best to keep
the tool away from the real Ultimail directory.
Leak in use of file handles found, so maxfh is not needed more
- 1997.03.27 v1.2
- real conversion of multipart emails with attachments added
use of @trans-folder dropped
- 1997.03.28 v1.3
- converted folders could not be deleted within PMMail due to a switch
in folder.ini set wrong, this is now corrected
switch for attachment on mail was not set in folder.bag, now it is
now with marking in folder.bag for converted sent mails (3)
long folders are now converted to folders named UMxx???0.FLD, where
xx=pos1-2 of real name and ??? is random numeric number
some adjustments of the folder.bag update
a little fix so all converted mails have 'MIME-Version:' in header
The file is a self extracting RAR-archive.

Post Road Mailer 2.0
converter to PMMail
by Bob Swift
I developed a bit of a REXX routine to help convert
the Post Road Mailer *.POP files and include them in the FOLDER.BAG
files used by PMMail. What brief instructions there are are included
in the program itself. The only drawbacks that I know of are that it
won't convert attached files (unless they are uuencoded in the body
of the message), and it requires you to manually move the *.POP files
into the desired destination folder prior to executing the conversion
program.

A UUPC/2 gateway for
Pmmail
found by Eilko Bronsema
I was looking for a UUPC/2 gateway for Pmmail. On
your homepages I found a program called Pmmpop 1.01. I installed this
program and maybe it worked okay with Pmmail 1.5x but it doesn't with
Pmmail 1.9x. I asked the author to correct the bugs but he didn't want
to because he had stopped the support.
Gladly I found a small program called POP3D. It worked,
only not as I wanted it to work. So I asked the author if he could made
a few changes. So he did. We have been changing the program to be compatible
with Pmmail 1.9x and UUCP/2 1.12r. It is small, fast and works great!
I think this program earns a place on your utility list cos it is a
great opportuinity for people who want a gateway to UUPC/2.
The UUCP/2-Gateway POP3D08D.EXE can be used to transfer
Mail from NetscapeMail to PMMAIL. (NetscapeMail can be used to POP Mail
true a SOCKS-Server.)

Utility to allow PMMail to
post to a USENET Newsgroup
by Ethan Hall-Beyer
This is a small script I put together to post articles
to an NNTP server, from within PMMail 1.5, via REXX exit. All the socket
stuff is taken from
INEWS.CMD as included with the TRN distribution (see
his header below).
You need the RXSOCK.DLL rexx socket dll file to use
these scripts.
It is pretty simple to use. It goes through the raw
message article supplied by PMMail, and looks for the string "/////"
which indicates the end of header information. Hence, in the message
body, you must enter newsgroup information *before* the "/////". For
example, the first three lines of an article posted from PMMail would
be:
Newsgroups: uw.test, comp.os.os2.mail-news
Keywords: test pmmail news
/////
<article text>
The values that can be entered before ///// are Newsgroups:
Keywords: Summary: Disclaimer: and Distribution:. "Newsgroups:" *must*
be given. Also, certain settings like "Organization:" and your newsserver
(if NNTPSERVER environment is not set) can be edited a few lines down.
You can look through and edit it to make it recognize other header entries
and stuff (Like X-No-Archive:, etc....)
To have it post, place PMMLNEWS.CMD in the \PMAIL\PMMAIL
directory, and set up a Outgoing REXX filter to call REXX Program "pmmlnews.cmd".
Search "Body:" for the string "/////" - you can edit script to use a
different string. When posting an article, I usually "mail" it to myself
as well (because you have to mail it to *someone*).
The script creates a log file USENET.LOG in the \PMAIL\PMMAIL
directory, so you can see if things go through properly.
This script invalidates the PGP signatures, and will
not work with PGP encryption.
I can be reached at eahallbe@descartes.uwaterloo.ca,
if you have any questions.

Double byte character support
tool for PMMail
Author Unknown
RXJIS.ZIP contains a DLL called from REXX procedure,
source code, sample REXX programs and documents (sorry, in Japanese).
RXJIS document says detail infomation about Japanese
double byte processing can be obtained from
"Understanding Japanese Infomation Processing"
O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
ISBN 1-56592-043-0
and some RFCs such as
- RFC822
- RFC1468
- RFC1521
- RFC1522
- RFC1554
- RFC1557
Some things to do are ...
- USE system font insted of Helv. or Sans. Now I'm using "PM drag'n-drop
Font" feature and works perfectly.
- DO double byte aware MIME encoding when sending a message. Warp
uses "Shift-JIS" (or "SJIS") encoding but the standard is MIME "Content-Type:
text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp" encoding. MIMESEND.CMD in RXJIS.ZIP
does this.
- DO MIME decoding when receiving a message. MIME to SJIS. MIMERECV.CMD
in RXJIS.ZIP does this.
Editor's note: This was sent to me so that
PMMail could support Double Byte character sets, which I do not want
to discriminate against. Unfortunately, as stated above, all of the
documentation is in Japanese. Combined with the fact that I do not have
a double byte machine set up, I really can't look at the documentation.
There is an e-mail address of the person who wrote it, however, no name
was given (that I found).

files. Some features include:
- Maintain an unlimited number of mailing lists. Simply copy a really
small EXE file to a unique filename for every mailing list in use.
- Fetch data from PMMail automatically. This is true for Account information
and grouplists.
- Maintain a huge amount of different text events.
- Submitted text will be stored, indexed and can be retrieved by member
of the mailing list by index.
- Uses PMMSEND.EXE from PMMail to work smooth within PMMails environment.
- Statusline.
- Customizable Toolbar.
- Bubble Help.
- 32-Bit Warp 4 optimized code.

A REXX script for filtering
that will move e-mail to another account
Simon Hampton
Many ISPs give their clients the possibility to have
a second alias which points to their one unique e-mail box (for example
sending to Liesbeth.Devriendt@skynet.be will cause an e-mail to arrive
in my mail box, Simon.Hampton@skynet.be). If you set up a filter, then
it is easy to put all the mails sent to the alias into a seperate mail
folder. But if your alias user sends a mail using PMMail, then the ordinary
address is used in the reply-to and from fields, so anybody replying
to such a mail will return it to mail account holder rather than the
alias. Not sucha big deal, but I wanted to get round this problem. This
program simply changes your normal return to address and from address
to point to your alias rather than normal email address.
All you need to do is edit the two lines below, place
the script somewhere sensible, e.g. \PMAIL\pmmail, and set up a filter:
account => utilities => new
Give the filter a name, have it search thefor text
that you only find in mails from the alias user (find something unique
in their signature file), set it as 'pre-send' and set action as rexx
script (background) and insert the full path and name of this script.

An Archiver for PMMail E-mails
Jonathan B. Bayer
PMMail Archiver is designed to archive messages,
reindex the message folders, and sort the address book.
This program was written as a command-line driven
program so that it could be called from within PMMail as an external
hook, usually upon exiting the program.
PMMail Archiver can be driven entirely from the command
line, or a configuration file may be set up for most common parameters.
The program is available in Windows and OS/2 versions.
Files are archived into a standard zip file. There
is an additional file created called "backup.bag" which contains the
PMMail info for each file archived.
Restored files are put into a special folder created
by the program, called "Restored Files". This folder is created in each
account that has files restored. Inside this folder the program will
recreate the same folder hierachy as existed when the file(s) were archived.
It will not create empty folders.

Utility to check system date/time
and decide if messages should be forwarded to another account
Jaime A. Cruz, Jr.
Here is a set of REXX scripts, suitable for running
as a filter (using the 'program.<>' tag), which will check the
current system date/time to decide if messages should be bounced to
another address. (For example, if you want your home mail bounced to
you at work during the day)
Below is a link to a ZIP file containing four REXX
programs. The important one is PMMFilt.CMD. That is the program that
actually verifies the date and time and passes either "Send" or "Ignore"
back to PMMail/2. The other three programs are external functions required
by PMMFilt. One calculates the Day of the Week (JCDoW.CMD), one converts
Calendar (mm/dd/yy) date to Julian (yyddd) format, and the last one
determines whether or not a given year is a leap year or not (JCLepYer).
I wrote all of the programs, and I've put them all
in the public domain. They work for me, there's no guarantee they'll
work for anybody else but the source code is there for people to fiddle
with. The programs also have fairly extensive internal documentation.
Hope you find it useful!
I found only one side-effect of using this procedure.
The PMMail/TEMP directory gets filled with a bunch of small files of
the form *.RET that contains the returned information from the REXX
script. Shutting down PMMail and restarting it clears these files out,
but I leave my computer on ALL the time.
What I did as a circumvention: Use Object Desktop's
Object Scheduler to launch a script every night to clean out this directory
along with Netscape's CACHE directory.
