If someone could make the fidomsg.wcx a little more robust I would be
happy..


-> Hector -
->  
->   Do you think it would be possible to incorporate creating of netmail 
->   messages via the WEB interface as a core piece of functionality to
->   Wildcat!?  

->   If not I understand, but what I had visioned would be the current 
->   template checks the mailarea type.  If it's a netmail area, the
->   template would display two text boxes (each next to the to/from user
->   names) in the form. 

->   Since the ansi side looks for fidomsg.wcx to run when creating netmail,
->   I would think there could be a variable that represents whether 
->   html-fidomsg.wcx existed.  If so, then the template would also show
->   a button with like "..." as the caption that spawns a popup window 
->   which runs the html-fidomsg.wcx hook.  

->   The html-fidomsg.wcx hook would be a custom module that we'd need to
->   write ourselves that parses or reads a nodelist data file and gives
->   the user the option to select a nodelist entry to send to/from.  
->   When the selections are made, the data is set in the calling form and
->   the popup window is closed.

->   Since the fields for the node numbers are text boxes, the user could
->   also just type in a FTN-address in 3D/4D/5D format that the create
->   message code parses and sets in the message header.

->   If you want me to modify the code for the hooks and submit it to you,
->   I'll be welcome to in order to try to push this into the core package.  I
->   know you want to keep things consistent regardless of connectivity type,
->   and I think it's a step in that direction.  I also realize that this is
->   a very LOW LOW item on the list of things to change/add to WINSERVER
->   which is why I'm willing to put it together and submit it to ya if that
->   is what works the best for you.

->   Thoughts?
->   Chris
