2160.0. "show company name on mail header" by JIT981::OOKUBO () Wed Jan 27 1993 07:08

	ALL-IN-1 Mail Header shows sender's name,department and TEL.
	My customer wants it to show a company name of a mail sender on
	a mail. But CAB$ DSAB does't have such attribute.

	Is it possible to add an attibute like a company name to a mail.
	Does anyone have any idea to implement this function.

	Regards,
	Yuko

2160.1	Use the old SUBJECT field trick?	GTI205::REDMOND	Thoughts of an Idle Mind	`Wed Jan 27 1993 15:13`	6
	You'll have to change the MAIL SEND option so that the person's company name is extracted and placed into the unviewable (past character position 70) part of the SUBJECT field. Then change the mail boilerplates so that the company information is extracted from SUBJECT and included in the output... Simple, Tony
2160.2	Another thought of another Idle Mind	BUSHIE::SETHI	Man from Downunder	`Thu Jan 28 1993 05:00`	15
	Hi Tony, I am a bit unsure what Ookubo wants to achive. If it's to send Mail message to another organisation as a X.400 mail message and this is what I think Ookubo wants to do, I am not so sure if your suggestion would work. On the other hand I could be reading too much into the base note !!! I didn't know about the "unviewable" part of the subject field, can you tell me a little bit more please. What is it used for and how long is the subject field ? Just chipping in with my 2 cents, pence, rupees, yens worth :-), Sunil
2160.3	thank you	JIT981::OOKUBO		`Thu Jan 28 1993 09:21`	12
	Thank you for your advice. Reading Tony's idea, I noticed that we could modify any attribute. Actually it's the best way that a mail has a company's attribute or any substitutive attribute which we can use instead of a company's attribute. I'm not sure if my customer try to connect another mail system. But I guess my customer accept this idea. Yuko
2160.4	Making myself clearer	GTI205::REDMOND	Thoughts of an Idle Mind	`Thu Jan 28 1993 11:11`	12
	To amend the subject... GET #SUBJECT = CAB$.SUBJECT[OA$CURMES] GET #SUBJECT = #SUBJECT:70 "My company name" WRITE CHANGE CAB$ %KEY = OA$CURMES, SUBJECT = #SUBJECT MAIL SEND People don't normally see past position 70 so when you receive the message you need to extract any data that's hanging around and stuff it into a field in a boilerplate... Tony
2160.5	Need a bit more clarification on your words of wisdom	BUSHIE::SETHI	Man from Downunder	`Fri Jan 29 1993 03:23`	8
	Hi Tony, All I have to say is that we all live and learn. I never knew that you could extend the Subject field. Is there a limit ? Regards, Sunil
2160.6		IDNTCR::REDMOND	Thoughts of an Idle Mind	`Fri Jan 29 1993 08:46`	1
	I believe it's around 160 characters...
2160.7	Subjects can be pretty long, if no X.400 around	IOSG::SHOVE	Dave Shove -- REO2-G/M6	`Mon Feb 01 1993 17:42`	10
	If the message goes through some kinds of foreign mail system, there is a limit on the subject (for exmaple, X.400 limits it to, I think, 128 characters). There isn't really a limit in ALL-IN-1, other than the maximum length of a file cabinet attribute (about 1,920 characters). Obviously you'll waste space in the SDAF if you make all subjects ridiculously long though. Dave.
