RE: Mail-to-News

This is the way that I've done it.

Set up the newsgroup in hamster that you want to have the mail posted
to.

In the mailfilt.hst file add the following to the [*] section. I just
put all my rules in the global section.

#-------------------------------------------------------------------
#--Hamster email group
=postto(hamster.emaillist) Any-Recipient: "[email protected]"
#------------------------------------------------------------------- 

You can check out the hamster help file for mailfilt.hst options and
format.

I need to keep track of a heavy-traffic mailing list, and I remember
that it's possible to convert e-mails into news format (so that they
can be read by a newsreader in threaded fashion) by some trick in
Hamster. I have been a Hamster user for years and, years ago, I
implemented such a converted list in my computer. But I forgot how to
do it, and cannot find any reference among my old files (I have since
changed systems, and I am likely to have disposed of them)

I did some research on the Web, and found a couple of pointers, plus
the electronic translation text in the Hamster FAQs. I am afraid it
hasn't been clear enough.

I would really appreciate guidance or, if this were too troublesome or
not possible, direction to a website that is a bit clearer than the
ones I've found, if it exists. There is some urgency about this
project, so I would like to apologise in advance if I seem pushy.

Regards to all,

RA
