Hello,
After about 10 hours converting, part of this mailing list is saved as a
FileMaker Pro 5 database file, about 681K after stuffing, please feel
free to download it:
scriptDigest.sea
http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/default?user=cherish&templatefn=FileSharing.html
This file contains 686 records, the first one, of course it's our
Postmaster's announcement on 27 October 2000, till the last one from
Gary Flint on Sun, 19 Nov 00 19:07:36 -0800
Each record has 7 fields, 4 of them are extracted from mailing list :
author -- the name of sender
date -- in format dd/mm/yyyy
subject -- subject of the message
body -- the body text of each message, with original "style", how to say
it, er, one can view it in FileMaker Pro same as Netscape, all quote
mark, line break are preserved. Try scale 150% & font "monaco".
And 3 additional fields :
messageID -- currently it's blank, no idea how to code it
topic -- it's a pop-up menu, value-list
comment -- a field to add your own comment
Well, just using AppleScript 1.4.3, Netscape 4.7.6 & FileMaker Pro
5.0v3, since the new format of this mailing list is... full of
exception, really fatigue now, the code will post tomorrow.
Bye
Bill
PS : As a newbie to FileMaker Pro, the layout design is poor, please
forgive.
PPS : interesting, the first post sent without content, how about this
one?
