Quite a few stations have asked me to change the HTMLconv from doing its job by default unless <NO> is on a line of its own in the message to doing nothing unless the word <YES> is the title, but had I released a version with <YES> rather than <NO> it would have led to confusion, so I didn't I have now figured out a way to satisfy everyone.
I have written a server called YES.EXE that checks to see if <YES> is on a line of its own in an outgoing message.
If it finds <YES> it will remove it from the message and then pass the message to XpHTMLcv (or if it isn't there HTMLCONV)for conversion.
If it doesn't find a <YES> it will do not call the HTML server.
All the user's will have to do is put YES.EXE into the same directory as their HTMLCONV server and alter the shortcut to htmlconv or xphtmlcv in winpack\servers\send to call YES.EXE instead of the HTMLconv/xphtmlcv.
In Win95 .. To alter the shortcut:-
Right click on it. Select Program. Change C:\WINPACK\HTMLCONV.exe to C:\WINPACK\YES.exe click OK.
Once the above has been done a message will not be HTML'd unless it contains the command <YES> on a line of its own.
If you have put the <YES> command in the message you can also put the <BOTH> command in.
If you put the <YES> and the <NO> command in then <NO> will win.
If you put the <BOTH> command in without the yes it will not work as the HTMLconv doesn't get called unless a <YES> command is found on a line of its own.
