    FMail (with an 'F') is just a tosser:

    I've grabbed a copy of the Win32 version but I don't see a Linux version.
    Am I correct in assuming that I would need to grab the source and compile
    my own Linux version?

    Yes, a VERY long history ;-))

    Yes, and then you still need a windows pc/vm for the configuration program, because that isn't converted to linux yet...

    BTW. Have you thought about pure text configuration, as option? Maybe a converter that reads a text conf to fmail binary conf..

    Good one, Tommi!

    I was re-thinking a couple-to-three weeks ago that using a CrashMail ][ config file layout might be a paticularly groovy method. When you considr that just about any good tosser would prompt for the same/similar information to grind that data into binary data files.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Depends by time, place and feeling moment.
    On the cell phone, HotDogEd.
    On the PC OpenXP for being practical and very well done. Or INDIGO/DOS
    0.01 + BlueWave/DOS when I want something more DOS and command line
    feeling. :-)

    I've thought about it. Even created a python script that converts the fmail.ar file from and to a .json file.

    https://sourceforge.net/p/fmail/code/ci/linux/tree/tools/

    But the resulting .json file is very complex, so a mistake is easy to make. The python script currently has no error checking, and it would need a lot of that to be used in a practical manner...

    Bye, Wilfred.
