This script is for those who can access their Amiga from the WWW and
want to use YAM as an "Internet Mailer".
At first to mention: This script is based on the Work of Jacob Laursen.
He gave me the permission to work on his WebYAM email script.
WebYAM is a CGI script (written in ARexx) to access YAM folders from a web
browser. To use the script you must install a web server, i.e. Apache. A
static Internet connection would also come in handy, since there's really
no reason to access your YAM folders from a local browser. ;-)
Since I only made the script for my own use, I haven't bothered to write a
lot of documentation. In fact, this readme is all you get. But here's some
hints about how to get started:
- In the top of the script itself, change YAMPath and Cfg.#? to your
needs.
- Do not rename the script.
- In your web server, make sure the directory WebYAM is placed in is
password-protected. There's no built-in security! Please do not ask
me how to setup your web server.
Thanks to Ash Thomas for the NewIcons (he kindly gave me permission to
include them in the archive, after I converted them to GIF).
KNOWN BUGS:
- The URL linker is not perfect yet, but should be sufficient for most
common references.
- If mail is sent the script says "Successfully sent" every time.
Even if it was not :-(
FUTURE:
- rewrite the compose functionality
- use attachments
- perhaps frames (write me if you think it's OK)
Have fun,
Thomas Hirsch
Please write an emil to me, if you are using this script. Just because
I want to know if my work is useful for others. My motivation increases
with the number ov mails I get...
