Subj : Squish enhancement

Hi Bob,


Now that you know what I ran into,  is there any hope of some sort of 
enhancement, whereby Squish -when handling netmail with the ATT bit and the 
In-Transit bit set -  can somehow decide if it needs to reduce a fully qualifed 
path down to just a filename.ext ?

Squish performed fine for me when just the filename.ext was on the subject 
line, using the ForwardTo verb.

Now that I think about it, I think Mike said it did not when he tried the 
ForwardFrom verb.   As I didn't experiment with that one, I won't pursue it 
here now.


Does anybody know if there is a standard?   a "normal"?   





I d/d'd what I believe to be the FTSC docs.   They are not the easiest thing 
for a layman to find his way around in.  :)


I'm going to post a snippet, and hopefully I won't get it out of context.
          
        ===begin===

    File Specifications

    If  one  or more  of FileAttached, FileRequest, or  FileUpdateReq  are
    asserted  in an AttributeWord, the subject{72} field is interpreted as
    a  list of file specifications  which may include wildcards and  other
    system-dependent data.  This list is of the form

    FileList = [ FileSpec { Sep FileSpec } ] Null

    FileSpec = (* implementation dependent file specification.  may
                  not contain Null or any of the characters in Sep. *)

    Sep      = ( " " | "," )  { " " }


    There are deviations from and additions to these specifications

          ===end===


To me, that reads:  There ain't no standard as to whether or not the sender's
software includes the FQPath in the .pkt or not.
What do you make of it?

I'm sure there will be comments on this soon.  :)


Thank you


                                            ......Joe
