    From Carlos Navarro@2:341/234.99 to All on Thu Feb 8 21:47:40 2024
    I think I managed to fix the issues that Smapi/JamNNTPd have with lines starting with a dot.

    .

    Edit nntpserv.c and make these two changes:

    1. Replace this:

    if(stricmp(buf,".")==0) /* "." means end of message in NNTP */
    strcpy(buf,"..");

    by this:

    if(buf[0]=='.')
    memmove(buf+1,buf,strlen(buf)+1);

    2. Insert this:

    if(line[0]=='.')
    memmove(line,line+1,strlen(line));

    just before this:

    if(textpos + strlen(line) > POST_MAXSIZE-1)

    I had asked about that at one point, when I discovered I only need to put two dots at the beginning of a tearline and Smapinntpd will add a third. Is that not an NNTP standard? I thought I read about that somewhere...

    Tommi already explained. ;-)

    With lines starting with a dot, Smapi/JamNNTpd inserts and extra dot when posting, and removes it when reading. So you don't see (or write) the same as if you use a normal Fidonet (or BBS) editor.

    Those changes I posted should address this issue.

    Attempting it now by adding a third dot to my tagline. :)

    Are you adding taglines to your messages in Thunderbird or in SmapiNNTPd?

    :)

    This is the most action Jam/Smapinntpd has gotten in over a decade. It's kinda exciting. :)

    I think in Thunderbird, otherwise the missing dot problem wouldn't be there at all. :)

    I'm using the SmartTemplates add-on for Thunderbird. You can set your greeting, signature, and tagline in that (not using TB's default signature), then position your cursor where you want it whether it's a new message, reply/followup, or forward.
