<!-- Hi,

Below is two different solutions.

Benny Pedersen,
PS. JavaScript and MS-DOS
-->

<html><head><title>E-MAIL</title><script language="JavaScript">
m=" Hit any mouse or press a lowercase [a] or [b] ";i="0";
s="";function t(){s=s+m.charAt(i);document.title=s+m.charAt(i);i++;
if(i==m.length){i="0";s=""};setTimeout("t()","160")}window.onload=t
document.onkeypress=j;function j(){{if(event.keyCode==97)
window.location="#a"}{if(event.keyCode==98)window.location="#b"}{if
(event.keyCode<=96)
window.location="http://users.cybercity.dk/~bse26236/home.html"}}
</script>
<style type=
"text/css">a:hover{color:#333333; background-color:#ffffff;
}body{SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR:#333333;
SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR:#c0c0c0; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR:#ffffff;

SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR:#333333; SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR:#ffffff;
}.MS-DOS{font-family: "Andale Mono", courier; font-size:100%}</style>
</head> <body bgcolor="#333333" text="#ffffff" alink="#ffffff"
link="#ffffff" vlink="#ffffff">
 Links: <a href="#a">Solution A</a>, <a href="#b">Solution B</a>
    <hr>
<a name="a"></a>
 Solution A:
 Here:  [ <a href="
mailto:@
?cc=@
&bcc=@
&subject=Hello%20
&body=%20%20How%20are%20you.
%0A%0A%20%20Blah%20Blah%20Blah...
%0A%0A%20%20Signature,%0A%20%20Reply%20to:%20mail%40post.com%0A
">e-mail</a> ]
     <hr>
<a name="b"></a>
 Solution B:
 Copy & paste the following DOS batch code (from within
your browser)!
 Create a new text file named "POST.BAT". To use the
demo, double click the batch file.
 

 @echo off
 if not exist "nul" for %%_ in (ech
got) do %%_o:EOF [to old DOS ver]
 echo>%temp%.\~.EML
To:som...@somewhere.com;ano...@somebodyElse.com
 for %%e in (:subject:Files :X-Unsent:1/ :) do
echo%%e>>%temp%.\~.eml
 echo>> %temp%.\~.eml Hello,
 for %%e in (ver dir:%windir%\command\edit.com) do
%%e>>%temp%.\~.eml
 echo.>>              
                 
               %temp%.\~.eml
 echo -- Below is the contents of c:\autoexec.bat>>  
  %temp%.\~.eml
 type c:\autoexec.bat            
               >>  
  %temp%.\~.eml
 echo.>>              
                   
             %temp%.\~.eml
 echo -- Below is the contents of "c:\config.sys">>
    %temp%.\~.eml
 copy /b > nul     %temp%.\~.eml + c:\config.sys
       %temp%.\~.eml
 for %%e in ("start.exe /wait" "del /p" cls)
do %%e     %temp%.\~.eml
 :EOF
 

 Caution:
 Since a copy paste from the above text would
append a single space to each end of all the
 lines, then the created file won't work.
Solution: Copy the text from the below textarea.
<textarea rows=5 cols=70>
@echo off
if not exist "nul" for %%_ in (ech got) do %%_o:EOF [to old DOS ver]
echo>%temp%.\~.EML To:som...@somewhere.com;ano...@somebodyElse.com
for %%e in (:subject:Files :X-Unsent:1/ :) do echo%%e>>%temp%.\~.eml
echo>> %temp%.\~.eml Hello,
for %%e in (ver dir:%windir%\command\edit.com) do %%e>>%temp%.\~.eml
echo.>> %temp%.\~.eml
echo -- Below is the contents of c:\autoexec.bat>> %temp%.\~.eml
type c:\autoexec.bat >> %temp%.\~.eml
echo.>> %temp%.\~.eml
echo -- Below is the contents of "c:\config.sys">> %temp%.\~.eml
copy /b > nul %temp%.\~.eml + c:\config.sys %temp%.\~.eml
for %%e in ("start.exe /wait" "del /p" cls) do %%e %temp%.\~.eml
:EOF

The Borland newsgroups are intended to be served only by the Borland
server, and not distributed by the Usenet system. The Borland experts
(such as TeamB) only access them via the Borland server.

Unfortunately, one or more misbegotten sites copy from Borland into
Usenet distribution, and some allow posting.

So, Benny, your post, which was sent using (I believe) your usual
server, is more or less the equivalent of whispering in the back of the
classroom ...

See below. & s/b/B/.

NGs transposed, to enable posting to Usenet mechanism via my ISP.

Thanks.

Yes I accidental just found that Newsgroup and used my usual server.
I don't hope that I did something wrong.

I have created a link to the above e-mail topic, here:
