[nos-bbs] mailbox.usr and mailbox.inf file

[Michael E Fox - N6MEF]

For a given JNOS mailbox, there are several files:

-- mailbox.txt holds the actual messages in mbox format

-- mailbox.ind holds the index

-- mailbox.inf - don't know

-- mailbox.usr holds which users have read up to which message

 

Two questions:

 

1)  The mailbox.usr file holds a call sign and a number on each row.  What
does the number represent?

For example, if the line contains "n6mef 0", what does that mean? And how is
that different from not listing the call sign at all?

As another example, if the line contains "n6mef 1000", what does that mean
and how does that relate to the Message-Id: header in the messages stored in
mailbox.txt?

 

2)  What is the purpose of the mailbox.inf file?

 

 

Thanks,

Michael
