It would seem that you would need to enable another feature of PINE to allow the proper coding-encoding of 8 bit characters in the new version of PINE. When looking at the help menu of a particular option I was already using prior to the change, I came upon something which you might have to enable so as to allow the system to code-decode these characters properly. The option I was using is called "enable-8bit-esmtp- negotiation" and the option mentioned is "Extended SMTP (ESMTP) with an extension called "8BITMIME". As I do not know what these mean, all I can say is that, before the change, my configuration worked and now, it does not. E-mail seems to decode properly, but News does not anymore.

Me too, I see accents. The problem is not the display, but the coding-encoding of these 8-bit characters from TFN and to the recipient. I have eliminated the recipient as the problem because the problem occurs everywhere. And everywhere, other posts are properly decoded except mine. The reason why we don't see it at TFN is because there is no problem for TFN to communicate with TFN.

And here is the HELP menu for the option I was talking about: PINE 4.44 HELP FOR SETUP CONFIGURATION No Messages FEATURE: enable-8bit-to-smtp-server This feature affects Pine's behavior when sending mail. Internet standards require that all electronic mail messages traversing the global Internet consist of 7bit ASCII characters unless a pair of cooperating mail transfer agents explicitly agree to allow 8bit messages. In general, then, exchanging messages in non-ASCII characters requires MIME encoding. However, there are now Internet standards that allow for unencoded 8bit exchange of messages between cooperating systems. Setting this feature tells Pine to try to negotiate unencoded 8bit transmission during the sending process. Should the negotiation fail, Pine will fall back to its ordinary encoding rules. Note, this feature relies on your system's mail transport agent or configured "smtp-server" having the negotiation mechanism introduced in "Extended SMTP" (ESMTP) and the specific extension called "8BITMIME". ESMTP allows for graceful migration to upgraded mail transfer agents, but it is possible that this feature might cause problems for some servers. === claudel@torfree.net === === CLAUDE LATRÉMOUILLE === =========================== From fjb@torfree.net Sat Apr 27 18:26:57 2002 Return-Path: Delivered-To: tfn-help@torfree.net Received: by sheppard1.torfree.net (Postfix, from userid 50879) id 35E976D26D; Sat, 27 Apr 2002 18:26:57 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by sheppard1.torfree.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2572868A35; Sat, 27 Apr 2002 18:26:57 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2002 18:26:57 -0400 (EDT) From: Jim Butterfield To: Kenneth McCracken Cc: "Chris F.A.

I'm running system 7.5 on a Mac Powerbook 145 and my communications software is Z-term v 0.9. I haven't found a Kermit command in it yet, so I'll check the manual. It does support x,y and z modem protocols. I will explore the z modem menu you've set up and keep trying. Thanks again for the quick assistance.

By the way Z-term 0.9 does not support Kermit. There is no need to uuencode the file to attach it to Pine. Just enter the file name on the Attchmnt: line. -- Chris F.A.

We just got word back yesterday from velocet that they had made some changes on their feed. I'm told the only solution is to start fresh subscribing to the same groups.(let us know if that works please) I don't know if we can save the text of the current subscribed groups and email them to people. I am not sure if this applies to ppp news subscriptions too. Knowing where to post the announcement is the next problem, but if ppp is affected too, email may be the best with a brief announcement for text users in motd and for ppp the torfree.net home page login status headers pointing to email details.

I have just installed a script to update users' newgroup files; you should see this message once: The recent problems with our newsgroup feed have been resolved. However, it has required resetting your newsgroup file. This means that old messages will show up. Also, it may take a few minutes before any messages show up the first time you read a newsgroup. -- ====================================================================== Chris F.A.

Do you have any idea if ppp > offline newsreaders would be affected? { If they're using PPP they're not off-line :) } Probably. If the newsreader keeps track of read messages in a .newsrc file, it's just a matter of removing the numbers after the newsgroup: comp.unix.shell: 1-13063,13323,13390-13424 Change to: comp.unix.shell: I don't know about other (non Unix-style) newsreaders. Perhaps just unsubscribing and resubscribing will do it. If not, delete any configuration file and resubscribe. -- ====================================================================== Chris F.A.

You appear to be a text user, so these instructions start from that assumption. First, you must upload the file from your computer to your TFN account. The easiest way is to press 'z' at the main menu; Press 'u', then tell your terminal program to upload the file using Zmodem. Go to Pine (#1 on the main menu). Press 'c' to compose a message. Move to the "Attachment:" line. Enter the file name and press ENTER. If you have a problem uploading the file, try different settings on the 'z' upload menu. -- ====================================================================== Chris F.A.

I tried the PAP/CHAP option - it just appears to use the "emptyscript", so it failed. My problem seems to be that QNX presents a default window to configure a login script (which I happened to call "tfn": Wait For: Reply With: Status: "ogin" $USER Logging in "ssword" $PASSWORD and another window to enter my username and password. modifying this to: Wait For: Reply With: Status: "ame:" $USER Logging in "ssword:" $PASSWORD fails at "username:", regardless of whether there is a colon or 1, 2, or 3 spaces after the colon. Interestingly, the "Compuserve" option seems to work after modification, at least as far as replying with my userid "\P32CIS\r\P32cx555/GO:PPPCONNECT" - but on the NEXT line - causing it to fail before "password:": Original (default): Wait For: Reply With: Status: \ \P1E Logging in "ame:" \P32CIS\r\P32$USER/GO:PPPCONNECT "word:" \P32$PASSWORD by modifying to: Wait For: Reply With: Status: \ \P1E Logging in "ame:" $USER "word:" $PASSWORD it seems to work, as I can see the screens go by, until it gets to "press any key to continue", where it times out at 30 seconds and says "script failed". Perhaps someone who is using PPP can give me a clue as to how to configure this. Watching how this works when I attempt to dialup, I can't get it past this stage. > > ISP.

If and the underlined letter doesn't work, and - will let you highlight a button, and then press . At the PAP/CHAP window, followed by the down arrow will let you select other options, such as "manual" - which works in text mode. - is equivalent to pressing the QNX button to access the main menu. - swaps windows. > > From what I've seen of the QNX demo on a LAN, > > it's impressive, a full graphical environment, web browser, and web server > > all on one floppy, no need to repartition a hard drive, no need to try > > replacing a bad hard drive in an otherwise useable laptop.

It seems to work if the filename conforms to the DOS 8.3 convention when saved from mail to files, but not if the filename is shortened before download. It used to work.

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. Firstly I must solicit your strictest confidence in this subject. This is by = virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. A member = of the Nigeria Export Promotion Council (N.E.P.C.) who was part of the = federal government delegation to your country during a trade exhibition gave = your particulars to me. I have decided to seek a confidential operation with = you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all = the parties and hope that you keep it top secret because of the nature of the = business. Within the ministry of petroleum resources where work as a director of = engineering and projects, and with the co-operation of four other very top = officials, we have under our control as overdue contract payments, bills = totaling Thirty One Million United States Dollars, which we want to transfer = to a foreign account, with the assistance and co-operation of a foreign = company to receive the said funds on our behalf or a reliable foreign = individual account to receive the funds. The source of the fund is as follows: during the last military government = here in Nigeria which lasted bout eleven months, government officials set up = companies and awarded themselves various contracts which were grossly = over-invoiced in various ministries. The present civilian government is not = aware of the atrocities committed by their predecessors and as a result, we = have a lot of such over invoiced contract payment s pending which we have = identified floating at the central bank of Nigeria ready for payment. However by virtue of our position as civil = servants, we cannot acquire this money in our names. I was therefore = delegated as a matter of urgency by my colleagues to look for an over seas = partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$31,000,000.00 = (THIRTY ONE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) hence we are writing you this = letter. Since the present civilian government is determined to pay foreign = contractors l debts owed so as to maintain an amiable relationship with = foreign governments and non-government financial agencies. We have decided = to include our bills for approval with the co-operation of some officials of = the federal ministry of finance (F.M.F) and the central bank of Nigeria = (C.B.N). We are seeking your assistance in providing us with a good company = account or any other offshore bank account into which we can remit this money = by acting our main partner and trustee or acting as the original contractor. = This we can do by swapping of account information and changing of beneficiary = and other pertinent information to apply for payment. By this act, we would = be using your company information to apply for payment, and prepare letters = of claim and job description on behalf of your company. This process would = be an internal arrangement with the departments concerned. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be = willing to assist us in this transaction, your share as compensation will be = us$6.2 million (20%), us$21.7 million (70%) for us and us$3.1 (10%) for = taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, provided you treat it with utmost secrecy = and confidentiality. Also your area of specialization is not m hindrance to = the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence = in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. I will bring the complete = picture of the transaction to your knowledge when I have heard from you.

I was told that they were due to a defective hard drive "losing" a block of registry data, and failing to let me log in - but I believe that the problem was fixed. Are you still having trouble logging in? Or are you cut off after you are successfully logged in? Perhaps someone should give Robert a telephone call if we don't hear from him soon.

In the past, we have given short courses in libraries, church halls, etc. about how to connect your computer to the internet, for example. Your teaching experience could be useful here (Not everybody can stand in front of 20 strangers and try to explain something complicated to them.) I'm just guessing that during your nursing experience you used computer networks. Please tell us a little more about yourself - we could match you with someone who is familiar with the "nuts and bolts", if needed. > Can you tell me what kind of works for volunteers you have?
