  • !define LEN_TITLE

    From Hax0r@HAX0RQWK to All on Fri Jul 28 20:25:00 2000
    SBBSDEFS.INC has a statement which looks like its supposed to modify the max len of the Title: prompt input, but changing this number does not apparently do anything.

    I would like to limit my title input in an e-mail message, and it is *impossible* to do it with SETSTR/GETLINE/UNGETSTR as MAIL_SEND takes control prompting you for recipient (ok, i can grab that ahead of time) and then Title , for which the text input box is around 70 chars or so, which I cannot grab ahead of time..

    it would be nice if you could pass params to MAIL_SEND and MAIL_SEND_NETMAIL, instead of them just taking over as it is now.

    No, those are CONSTANT definitions. They are there for your use, not modification. The Title lengths are hard-coded in SBBS.DLL and determined by the type of mesage/sub-board.

    I would like to limit my title input in an e-mail message, and it is *impossible* to do it with SETSTR/GETLINE/UNGETSTR as MAIL_SEND takes contro prompting you for recipient (ok, i can grab that ahead of time) and then Tit , for which the text input box is around 70 chars or so, which I cannot grab ahead of time..

    Perhaps in the future.
