WOO HOO. It actually sort of works. I've managed to tie into the <PROTOCOL>%
handler with a couple of hundred lines of C code that I modified from what I was sent and
the MAIL program quite happily produces XML output.
Now all that's left to do is to write a little python script to pull down the files
from the outbound directory, convert them to Fidonet format and place them in the outbound
directory of my Fido mailer.
Happy days.

I am a very very happy bunny: A friendly guy on c.o.v. (called Jan Erik Soderholm)
provided me with source code that does pretty much exactly what I want (well listens to a
<protname>% thing from mail and does something with it).
And it's in C, so I won't be entirely lost.
I think I'll be able to knock out something resembling a working bit of code within a
pretty short period of time.
Get ready to be on Fidonet guys!

I will take a look at this mail_routines documentation - it's not immediately obvious
to me how to write the library with the relevant entry points. As others seem to point out
it's rather undocumented - you wouldn't have any old code lying around would you
Bob? :)
I'd recommend asking such questions on comp.os.vms rather than here. Better
to hit a much wider audience.
