[pmmail-list] Splitting data and executable

[Norbert Schmidt]

Hello Stephen,

I would suggest that you *NEVER* use spaces in folder names. It might
even be safer if you stick to ancient 8.3 conventions and only use
upper case letters.

I don't know if it's fixed by now, but older versions of PMMail didn't
put quotation marks around the full path names when calling a filter
hook. Spaces in a naked path name are quite irritating to the standard
parsing of the command line.

That would be great! :-)

And maybe a little tool program to move the whole data base,
automatically fixing all references in the ini files and hooks ...

Norbert
