The WIS could use some TLC, but right now, I posted this earlier: --------------- There is an error in the WIS file. Line 329 should be: CREATEOBJECT="REPLACE WPProgram|PMMailUtility||EXENAME=$(1)\BIN\PM MUtil.EXE;PARAMETERS=$(1);STARTUPDIR=$(1)\BIN;OBJECTI D=;" but that may still be wrong. It is supposed to REPLACE the old Migration tool icon with the PMMail Utility icon (same icon, different words). ----------------------------------- And it wasn't changed. I could do it, but I don't want to mess up what you are doing. I am still not 100% sure that the correction is correct. Right now, PMMutil.exe won't build for me. I have no idea why not (I can build it in my DrDialog setup). The indication is that something is missing. When I look at the paths in my build system, there is something weird about the DrDialog entry, and I haven't found where it is done. > I think bogofilter, stunnel and tnef might be the external programs we still supply. BogoFilter 1.25 has been released (we are now at 1.24). See > https://bogofilter.sourceforge.io/NEWS We probably should look into learning how to build that. The current version was built by Dave Saville, who passed away some years ago. STunnel seems to have some more updates that we probably should get. See: > https://www.stunnel dot org/ Paul Smedley has done a couple of them for us. Again, we probably should look into building it ourselves, since it seems that the functions are not likely to be incorporated into PMMail, any time soon. I don't know where TNEF comes from.
