This package allows the reading of NeXTmail on nonNeXT machines. Specifically, it will decode the NeXTmail and show you the textual part of the message. NeXT attachments are noted in the textual output. I didn't write this code. I pried it out of an old NeXT Users Journal (which is now defunct). When I run across NeXTmail within my mail reader (elm), I pipe it to "denext" which then allows me to preview the message before transferring it to my NeXT. The conversion of rich text to plain ascii isn't perfect so you will see a little RTF in the ascii but it's quite readable. README This file. denext The main shell script. Modify the variables at the top. dertf.l The lex for the rtf stripper. makefile A quick makefile to compile dertf.l stripnextsnd.c Unused but in the original article. A program to play sound attachments on a Sun Sparc. Enjoy... Paul Verket (NeXTmail ok) verket@venice.sedd.trw.com
