[pmmail-list] PMMail STRIP Utility [Was: Additional feature. . .]

[Carl Gehr]

Oh, STRIP 'says' [when I watch the command dialog go by]
that it processed the message a second time.  The problem
seems to be that it just never looks past the FIRST 
attachment on the message.

Also, it does NOT change the file size *IF* PMMail/2 is OPEN.
I just stripped a file that had a 709K file attached.  The
DIR listing now shows that the message file itself is 4527
bytes long.  BUT, the message display window [And the BAG
entry] still shows:
	 709K 
For some reason, it is not changing the size nor the "K"
to "KB".

And, to repeat, if I CLOSE PMMail/2, then it will change the
file size when it processes the file.  I've not tried to 
reprocess a message with PMMail/2 closed after it has already
been processed once.

It is a minor annoyance, not a major problem. I only pointed
it out so other new users would not waste the time trying to
figure out how to make it work.  I reported it to the developer,
and, while he was sympathetic, no fix was provided other than
shut PMMail/2 down.  I have MANY THOUSANDS of messages.  It
takes far too long to close/open PMMail/2 to do that.  So, I
just live with it.
