Lee,
Here is a beginning of a program for a text email viewer. Although you
really wanted a DOS based viewer, I'm not familiar enough with Jiri's
widgets to do that right now, so I made this for Windows. You can make the
filename it reads to be whatever you want, right now it's "email.txt". And
I included that sample email file you sent with the viewer, so anyone else
who wanted to see it work could.
It can certainly be expanded and or improved upon, but it does seem to work.
The major difficulty was to make the act of *selecting* an email from the
list be recognized, but Euman made a series of suggestions which solved that
problem.
It lacks a search facility (but because it's editor based rather than
databased, it shouldn't be too hard to implement), & could maybe use a
better "header tag" finder (in case "To:" or "From:" etc happen for some
reason to be included *inside* an email post, oops, I just did that.....ok,
I just fixed that, it'll only look for those words at the very beginning of
a line, but that's still not totally bullet-proof), and the built-in sort
facility in the listview column heads is case sensitive, so "RE:" is not put
with "re:". On the plus side, using that built-in sort facility does *not*
mess up the indexing for retrieving the messages, which I thought it would.
And you could make different font size, add color, etc.
Let me know what you think.

Thanks Dan. I have been busy trying to archive my email
received again as my pc crashed twice in last 24 hrs.
This is either Juno or Win's Explorer. I have not been
able to nail things down yet.

So it is a matter of studying all these pgms here to know
what they are & what they do.

I would love to if I could figure out why viewer can not
find tk_maths.e again. I install Euphoria last week.
D/led lastest version of Win32Lib & got both in pgm files
(tk_maths.e & win32Lib in the following sub-directories:
c:\euphoria\bin
and
c:\euphoria\include
In my autoexec.bat file, Euphoria is part of my path
statement. I still can not figure out what is wrong on
my end. I could not run the bjv2 last week & got the
same msg..it could not find tk_maths.e.
This tk_maths.e is dated: 11-07-2000
File size is: 1400k approx.
Any suggestions what else to look at?

Lee,
I'm sorry, I should have realized that the problem you were having with
blackjack/Win32Lib/tk_maths.e would almost certainly make exactly the same
problem with *any* program using Win32Lib. :(
Will *any* of the demo programs that are included with Win32Lib run??
