Hi folks,

we've just brought a weird problem extracting a file attached to an email
down to the setting of SET EXACT at the time POP3CLIENT:GETMESSAGE() is
executed.


This works:

SET EXACT OFF
email := emailserver:GETMESSAGE(counter)
SET EXACT ON

blablabla...

Extracting an attached file from one of the MIMECONTENT() elements returned
in the array by GETCONTENT() applied to the email now works.


This does not work:

SET EXACT ON
email := emailserver:GETMESSAGE(counter)

blablabla...

extracting an attached file from one of the MIMECONTENT() elements returned
in the array by GETCONTENT() applied to the email now fails miserably.


Unfortunatley I'm always setting EXACT ON "first thing in the morning" in my
applications and so I'm doomed.
I suppose that you used '=' instead of '==' in some of the Xbase++ code
making up the Asinet Library.  I hereby request an overhaul of the Asinet
library to make it work with any EXACT setting!

Kind regards,

Michael

Try this:

#xtranslate <v> := <x>:MyGetMessage(<n>) =>;
            SET EXACT OFF;
            ;<v> := <x>:GetMessage(<n>);
            ;SET EXACT ON

email := emailserver:MyGetMessage(counter)

BRAIN, n. An apparatus with which we think what we think.  That which 
distinguishes the man who is content to _be_ something from the man 
who wishes to _do_ something.  A man of great wealth, or one who has 
been pitchforked into high station, has commonly such a headful of 
brain that his neighbors cannot keep their hats on.  In our 
civilization, and under our republican form of government, brain is so 
highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of 
office.

Hi Phil,

Thanks. That's what we already did. Unfortunately this solves one known
problem but the unknown ones waiting in the dark to bust our programs are
scaring me. That's why I request the overhaul. And if the Alaska guys don't
answer to this thread I'll post the problem again in the bugreport
newsgroup...

Kind regards,

Michael.

Sorry for late response. I have been on holydays last two weeks. Today I was able to reproduce the problem and
created:

http://www.alaska-software.com/cgi-bin/waa1gate.exe?WAA_PACKAGE=PUBLICDTS&WAA_FORM=DISPLAYPDR&PDRID=5016

For information, we have reworked some parts of the mail stuff in asinet. Unfortunately the changes did not
make it in 1.8. However, I have checked against latest build of 1.9 and the problem is gone. So the problem
will be solved with next release.

Wouldn't Massimo be asking why he can't find it for download on the 
Alaska FTP site?

No plans have been changed. We are working heavyliy on vx. Anyway there might be some confusion on version
numbering.
Our internal build increment continues. Each time we build our product the minor number will be increased and
when we have released a product the major number will be increased as well.

1.8.283  beta for 1.8
1.8.284  1.8 release
1.9.285  internal build for code merge

I am not shure what this will be with first release of vx. The product will be Xbase++ 2.0 at some point
 Code Centered Edition or Form Centered Edition, Professional or what ever. ) This is subject to marketing.
Our internal build might continue with

1.9.2xx
2.10.3xx or 2.0.3xx or what ever. Who knows.
