2287.0. "Mail forward/nosend & Mail send." by BALZAC::KUOCH () Thu Feb 18 1993 13:47

Hi,
    There is a problem with  MAIL FORWARD/NOSEND & MAIL SEND  :

          Under WP screen (form EMC), I have a created document.
    	  I execute the following script (<do test.scp) :

    			! test.scp
    			mail initialize
    			mail forward /nosend
    			mail send "sys$login:test.txt"
    			get oa$display="-" oa$status "-"
    			.exit

    	  The content of test.txt is :

    			TO: Cheu Kuoch                           ( KUOCH )
    			Subject: TEST

    			ABCDEF

    	  While executing the command "mail forward /nosend", the following
    	  question is asked :

    		Do you wish to add a cover note? [Y/N]

    	  If I answer "Y" and create a cover note, empty or not,
                          ok, I receive the mail.

    	  If I answer "N" , ALL-IN-1 V3.0 crash while executing "mail send"

%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=05, virtual address=20202020, PC

    Hi,
    
    You've hit upon a bug in MAIL FORWARD which normally doesn't matter,
    but does impact any subsequent MAIL SEND with a filename parameter. (It
    has forgotten to clear a vital global symbol - oa$gt_emd_mail_dsab). 
    
    Unfortunately I can't see any obvious workround. Sorry this isn't much
    help.
    
    Cheers

    A temporary solution is to create,close and delete a temporary message
    before "mail send". That is :
    
    
            ! test.scp
            mail initialize
            mail forward /nosend
    
            mail push_curmes
            mail create/open/nosend
            mail close_message
            mail delete/noprompt
            mail pop_curmes
       
            mail send "sys$login:test.txt"
            get oa$display="-" oa$status "-"
            .exit
    
    
    Regards.
    Cheu.
