- This directory contains scripts for use with queuemh. They are
- unsupported hacks used at CU or contributed. Consider them works in
- progress. here is no documentation, the code should be sufficient
- since they're simple. All scripts support the -help option typical to
- MH commands.
-
- Before using any of these scripts, look through them and customize
- any site specific information like directory paths and queue names.
-
- Send any bugs, suggestions, etc to queuemh-users@cs.colorado.edu.

- Stuff here (in no particular order)
-
- ptize - prioritize a message
- Basically takes any string given as a priority,
- upcases it, and annotates the message with it
- in the Priority header. We use a two digit
- priority described in the -help.
-
- assign - assign a message to a specific staff member
- Annotates the message with the name specified
- (suggest login) in the Assigned-to header.
-
- packq - sorts the queue on Priority in reverse order
- Since new message come in the end, sort on
- priority is reverse order (high priority,
- low priority number last) so queue can always
- be read back to front.
-
- dscan - scan messages with final msg# digits corresponding
- to those specified on command line
- This requires a little history. Every once in
- a while our queue gets to big to manage well so
- we have a queue "party". All staff come in and
- work on the queue until it's back down to a manageable
- size (fits on one screen, ~24 entries). Pizza is
- provided for the duration. During the "party" the messages
- are evenly distributed amoung those attending. We assign
- messages by final msg# digit, eg. someone gets ones:
- 11 21 31 41, etc. That ensures an even spread of new/easy
- stuff and moldy hard stuff. dscan was written for queue
- parties and scans the "ones" and "twos" etc.
-
- myscan - scans only those message assigned to current user
-
- pland - directory of stuff to implement dynamic queue status
- via finger
-
- plum - directory of plum libraries to implement queuemh commands
-
- pscan.form - format file for pscan and myscan which shows
- Priority and Assigned-to
-
- scan.form - format file which shows Priority
