  • Couple of questions

    From Rick Smith@1:340/202 to All on Mon Sep 28 07:32:16 2020
    Greetings,

    I have a couple of setup ?'s

    I had to reset my config and in my golded error log it complains about not seeing gdengus or something so when I put a path to it golded then starts
    with a blank screen until I hit enter then all is normal just acts a little weird.

    Second thing is although I have outboundpath set golded creates golded.msg in the golded dir is this normal?

    Get the docs, there is an -install switch that generates an initial setup. If that fails already then you may have a compilation problem. If it works then add every feature step by step to find the problem.

    Yes. That is one of the best features of golded. That is the work in progress file for new messages. Once i wrote a long mail with references and source research when my computer crashed. I couldn't save the mail and i was upset that my long work was lost. After restarting the machine and golded a never seen before message popped up "unfinished message found" and everything was there. That really made my day.

    Even now this mail is in that file:

    $ head golded.msg
