- WHAT IT DOES
-
- This AREXX script provides an easy way to set message headers in GRn
- without having to move up to the headers section in your editor and edit
- manually. (Seemed to me a tad silly for a GUI newsreader to have such a
- horrible-looking way to edit headers - if I wanted to edit manually I'd
- use rn :) ) It also lets you automatically change a "From:" header that
- is in error (such as what may occur if you are using TIA or dynamic SLIP).
-
- WHAT YOU NEED
-
- * ARexx (duh :) )
- * GRn installed (double duh :) )
- * RexxReqTools installed (look on Aminet if you don't have it)
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Installation of this script is fairly straightforward. First, copy the
- script where you want it (I use inet:c). Then, set environment variables
- as follows:
-
- DRMEDITOR = the full pathname of your preferred editor.
-
- Note: This must be an editor that doesn't return
- to the shell until after you're done with
- it ...
-
- DRMTIA = YES if you'd like modhdr to substitute into the "From:"
- header.
-
- DRMREAL = your real email address
-
- NEWSEDITOR = sys:rexxc/rx pathname of modhdr.rexx
-
- As an example, in my user-startup I have:
-
- setenv DRMEDITOR "sys:utilities/ann"
- setenv DRMTIA "YES"
- setenv DRMREAL "charlet@hubcap.clemson.edu (Charles E Taylor IV)"
- setenv NEWSEDITOR "sys:rexxc/rx inet:c/modhdr.rexx"
-
- USAGE
-
- This much is obvious the next time you use GRn. :)
-
- The script has been modified a bit to save some clicking - it no
- longer asks up front to enter subject/newsgroups/to/etc if it has
- defaults for these variables. To change them, just click on the
- appropriate gadget in the "Edit headers?" window that pops up
- after you've edited your message.
