StarInfo/Fletcher/!ReadMe
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

CheckMail
=========
CheckMail is a very simple command line mailbox lister, as might be found on
Unix. It accepts Berkeley format mailboxes and produces a list of the senders
of the mail. If you supply the optional email addresses, it will try to
identify which mail was directed at 'you' and which is 'junk'.
Berkeley format message boxes are those build by Pine (and therefore Marcel),
sendmail, gmail (in its FCC mode), and FreeSMTP. The consist of messages
seperated by a 'From' header similar to the following :
From gerph@innocent.com Fri May 1 16:52:06 1998
However, since there are a lot of varying formats for this header, the
following date styles are handled :
From user Wed Dec 2 05:53 1992
From user Wed Dec 2 05:53:22 1992
From user Wed Dec 2 05:53 PST 1992
From user Wed Dec 2 05:53:22 PST 1992
From user Wed Dec 2 05:53 -0700 1992
From user Wed Dec 2 05:53:22 -0700 1992
From user Wed Dec 2 05:53 1992 PST
From user Wed Dec 2 05:53:22 1992 PST
From user Wed Dec 2 05:53 1992 -0700
From user Wed Dec 2 05:53:22 1992 -0700
And all of the above with a comma after the day, and/or 'remote from xxx' at
the end. (all the work of Mark Crispin there!)
Speak
-----
If Johnathan Duddington's excellent Speak module is installed it will read out
the text as well.
Acknowledgemensts
-----------------
I've used the 'VALID' macro from Pine. This is possibly the longest macro
I've ever seen and the most cunning 'From' mail header identifier in
existance.
Pine is ��University of Washington, the VALID macro was written by Mark
Crispin.
