Post text files to message bases
The '[PostTextFiles]' stanza tasks MUTIL with posting a text file(s) to a message base(s).
This can be a useful tool if you wanted to automate an announcement to an Echomail area such as weekly posting of an advertisement about your Mystic BBS to an message base of your choosing.
To enable this function you modify the '[general]' stanza as follows:
[general] PostTextFiles = true
There are a number of switches to define:
The name of the file you wish Mystic to post
file1_name = myfirstfile.txt
The permanent index of message base to post to. The baseidx is the permanent index of the message base to post the message into (shown as Index at the top of the message base editor in Mystic's configuration.
file1_baseidx = 2
Who the post is from.
file1_from = Sysop
Who the post is addressed to.
file1_to = All
The subject of the post
file1_subj = My subject
The network address of the posting system
file1_addr = 0:0/0
Should Mystic auto delete the source text file after posting it's contents to the message base?
file1_delfile = false file2_name = mysecondfile.txt file2_baseidx = 2 file2_from = Sysop file2_to = All file2_subj = My subject file2_addr = 0:0/0 file2_delfile = false
