That shouldn't be necessary anymore.  I think I have HP's mailx beaten into
submission now.

If I had disengaged my mouth (err... fingers) and used my brain, I would have
remembered that.  Obviously, it's been too long since I poked around with MIME.
Sorry if anyone was insulted (like saying a Yale man went to Harvard. :)

Sorry again for the confusion.

Something to pipe splite's mail through: ftp://plan9.att.com/plan9/pcdist/unmime.c.
The format his mail is in is mime quoted mode.  Unmime, if given an argument,
will unpack multipart mime messages into separate files.  It's worth the price
and not much more.

Mime is not from Bell Labs, its from Bellcore.  We're in the same state and
we both have something to do with telephones but we're not the same company.

The quoted mode uses = as an escape.  ='s followed by cr's mean ignore
the cr.  ='s followed by 2 characters of hex should be replaced by the
character whose value is the hex.  Thus =3D is really just =.

Bell Labs != Bellcore

Yeah.  I'm going to build MH this afternoon.  HP's mailx has (broken) met=

I've been wondering how Plan 9 dealt with a corrupted filesystem.  I figu=

that resetting without halt'ing would screw something, but it never compl=

on boot, so I (wrongly) assumed the fs was okay.

"optional files"?

I'll do that.  Thanks.

(Sorry about all the bandwidth.  I'm reading the docs as fast as I can, b=

it's hard (for me, anyway) to learn a system without having a working one=

play with.)

splite@wdni.com's mailer seems to be using = as an escape (3D is `=').

>>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=X-roman8
>>Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

anyhow, as far as this goes:

>>prompt.  /tmp/x contains:
>>	tag = Tnone; expected Tfile

that probably signifies a corrupt file system; that looks to me like a
message from disk/kfs (or /fs).

it isn't surprising there are problems if the system hung up
and had to be reset before a disk/kfscmd halt could be done.
(if it happens again, wait about 30 seconds before resetting
to give it a chance to sync automatically; normally the f.s. will
then be consistent.)

disk/kfscmd 'check' will show the extent of the damage, but
the demo. system is small enough that there aren't any optional files;
something is bound to break later.

while it is possible to make the curdled file system consistent again using
the options to disk/kfscmd 'check', it's probably better to unpack the
distribution again into a remade file system.
