Subject: Interesting EMS API Questions
Date: Fri, 17 Dec 1999 13:04:54 -0700

Hello,

Pretty quiet out there.

First let me explain what I'm trying to do: I want to programatically add
text and formatting to a message as it is sent. Because of the fine-grained
control I want I can't simply use signatures. If a message contains both
plain-text an HTML I want to update each of those MIME entities in it's own
way. (Adding text to the end of the text section; tableizing and formatting
on the HTML section.)

When I first looked at the EMS API I thought this would be pretty simple but
I started running into problems immediately.

Here's my setup:
EMS_VERSION		3
Translator type	EMST_PREPROCESS
Context		EMSF_Q4_TRANSMISSION	(EMSF_Q4_COMPLETION would also be acceptable)

I thought I'd just use ems_can_translate to step through the MIME structure
agreeing to handle the first text/plain and text/HTML parts, and telling the
API that I wasn't interested in any other parts.

Here's the first problem though: If I return anything but EMSR_NOW any time
ems_can_translate is called then an error messagebox pops up and processing
on the message ends. (The documentation seems to imply that returning
EMSR_CANT_TRANS will just skip that entity.) So how can I walk through the
MIME structure and only process selected parts in either the
EMSF_Q4_TRANSMISSION or EMSF_Q4_COMPLETION context?

-Vik

Set the EMSF_DEFAULT_Q_ON flag when Eudora calls your translator's 
ems_translator_info() function.

Subject: Plugin problem

Hello eudora-emsapi,

I've got a big problem with new Eudora. (4.2.2, 4.3b too).

My plugin filters an outgoing message and possibly adds another MIME section
of text/plain to the message, then it passes back a file with the message to
Eudora in temp directory.

The message is sent ok, but in the Out folder, the message is displayed as
empty with the attach pointing to the output temp. file of my plugin !

What do I do wrong?
When was the specification changed?
I use API v3 to be compatible with Eudora Light.

Help, my customers are starting to complain.

Regards,
Petr Prazak

Subject: Another issue

Hello,

Playing  a  little  bit with my plugin, I found out that Eudora doesn't behave
exactly as emsv4a4.pdf states.

The description on ems_can_translate return codes says:

EMSR_CANT_TRANS:  This  is  not  a message that this translator can translate.
Anything  else:  Failure.  This  will  cause Eudora to put up an error message
associated with the return.

From this I assumed that when I return EMSR_CANT_TRANS, Eudora just won't call
ems_translate_file on this message. Instead, I get the error  messagebox:

 Plugin Error: ...
 Can't queue message, the selected plugin unable to operate on this
 message. {0}


What is the problem here?

I may not understand English well or being just too stupid :)


Best regards,

Subject: some plugin questions

Hello,

I am writing a Eudora client S/MIME plug-in that handles standard email
security. While doing that, I have encountered problems below!

1.  Here is the following scenario: I am digitally sign a plain text which
I intercept during outbound processing. The result of signing is two piece
MIME message (S/MIME attached signature standard), which I feed back into
Eudora. Eudora sends it out. I receive that mail, open it up and click on
the icon associated with my SMIME pluggin to parse it. Parsing is
successful and as a result I strip off the signature part, and feed back
the MIME plain text to Eudora. The problem is that Eudora doesn't display
the text.
However, if I sent out not just the plain text - but plain text with some
attachment - then on receiving part, after stripping signature off the,
plain text and attachment are displayed with no problems. How to get the
plain text displayed in the window?

2. Another one: Eudora has two ways of viewing a message - by opening it
up or previewing it. If I open up a message and activate my plugin, then
header data-structure of  emsDataFile is not getting filled in with the
corresponding SMTP values. However, if I activate the plugin from the
preview window then the header structure gets its SMTP values
alright. What is the way to get SMTP header info when opening up a
message?

3. Yet another one: I am testing my Eudora plugin for interoperability
with Outlook generated SMIME messages. The problem is that Outlook MIME
assembler doesn't put " Mime-Version: 1.0" into its embedded MIME parts
preamble. Which is fine since RFC1521 says that string is optional, since
if omitted than the parser should assume MIME Version 1. However, the
absence of  "Mime-Version: 1.0" totally confuses Eudora and the message is
displayed as is in MIME. What is a fix to this?

Subject: newbie  question.

Hello everyone,

I am a newbie in plugins programming.  

I'm curently developing a plugin which has to be activated on a MIME 
multipart-mixed (three body parts) message in order to display  some 
information extracted from the second body-part and from the third body-
part (which are base-64 encoded in the original message they ).

The characteristics of my plugin are:
plugin  type =  EMST_SIGNATURE
plugin flags = EMSF_ON_ARRIVAL| EMSF_ON_DISPLAY | 
EMSF_WHOLE_MESSAGE | EMSF_ALL_HEADERS.


I'm having the following problem:
When a new message of type "multipart/mixed" arrives, the plugin (i.e. 
ems_can_translate) is activated and   returns EMSR_NOT_NOW, but  
when I later click on the icon over the message,  the function 
ems_can_translate is called twice with the same input data (i.e  
type=multipart, subtype =mixed,  the same "raw-headers",  "from", "to" 
and so on).  
The function ems_translate_file is invoked only after the second 
invocation of ems_can_translate.  

Somebody knows why ems_can_transalate is invoked twice instead of 
once, before the invocation of  ems_translate_file?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Subject: Mac Eudora filter plugin & transfers+labels

   I'd like to write a plugin (Mac Eudora) that does filtering.
   From the EMSAPI doc's and samples. I can't see how to:

a) transfer mail to a specific mailbox from a plugin (so it does what a filter
       can do)

b) specify a label from a plugin.

   In short, I want to write a plugin that accomplishes the things 
filters can do.

   Maybe I can add a header to tweak the label, but how to
automatically do a transfer escapes me.  Is this known stuff?

   Even better, I'd like to add a column to the mailbox GUI with
my data, but I presume this is really over the top.

Thanks.

Subject: New Anti-Spam Measures

One of the public Pensive lists was just spammed.  Accordingly, I 
have added restrictions to the lists.  I had been reluctant to do so 
previously, because this makes it less convenient for people to use.

Effective immediately, only subscribers can post.  I realize how 
annoying this can be, since you may be subscribed using one address, 
but try and post from another.  No one likes having his or her 
messages returned because the address wasn't subscribed.  One way to 
mitigate this is to subscribe all your addresses, and set all but one 
for NOMAIL.

Subject: International character sets

Hi,

I plan to write a plugin for Eudora (Macintosh only) that will 
code/decode from UTF7/8 to/from Mac character sets.

This will allow users to send and receive messages containiing, say, 
japanese AND French, not only Japanese and english.

1. With Mac OS 9, it is possible to compose an international message 
(as eudora is based on the standard mac text manager), but:
     -> The fonts are not properly handled (changing the keyboard 
changes the font, but eudora does not remember it) and the user has 
to specify the font of each part of the text.

---> If the user just composes a text with Japanese and French 
through, I get a text only body part and have no way to figure out 
what part is in what font (hence getting a hint for conversion).

---> If the user changes the font (through the font menu), I get an 
HTML message that has been translated to ISO 8859-1. As the 
translation is not reversible, I cannot figure out what the original 
characters were.

2. Playing with that, I discovered that Eudora knows how to dislay a 
message in UTF7/8 provided that the header is correct (i.e. not 
generated by netscape, but rather by Outlook Express). It is 
surprising that I can receive an international mail, but I cannot 
send any...

Hence the questions:
   - Am I totally dumb not to find a way to send UTF7 messages from Eudora ?

   - If not, is there a way to access the message WITH the style run 
that is used when composition occurs ?
   - If not, is there a way to get the RAW html/enriched/whatever 
content of the message before any conversion is made ?

Thanks in advance,

Gilles,

P.S. I did not see a lot of answers on this mailing list, just 
questions most of the time. Could you please post answer in the 
mailing list (if there is any).

I've just started to look at the API, and I'm wondering if anyone on this list could advise me as to the feasibility of a project I've been handed. Essentially, I've been asked to add an e-mail component to an existing Records Management system. What I'd 
envisioned was a Windows Eudora user selecting one or more received messages and then hitting a toolbar icon to mimic a "forward" action to a fixed e-mail address. I'd need a dialog box to pop-up first, and then embed information from it (e.g., categoriza
tion, include/exclude attachments) in either a new header or a new attachment before queuing the message.

I'd originally planned on using a Special Tools plug-in, but I don't see how I can determine which are the selected messages from within the ems_special_hook function. I suppose I could instead force the user to select only a single message at a time and 
use an on-request Translator function, but if I'm reading the doc's properly I'll lose any enriched text and I'm not sure I'll be able to add headers/attachments and then queue the "new" message.

I'm willing to continue researching this, but don't want to waste my time. Would anyone familiar with API like to comment as to whether its functionality precludes what I'm trying to accomplish? Thanks.

Subject: problem with HTML images
Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2000 14:01:15 -0400

Hello,

I'm working on a Q4-Transmission plugin and I'm having some problems with
HTML images.

When I send a message with an image embedded in it, the MIME that is sent to
my plugin does not include the image attachment.  Thus, it is lost and shows
up as a broken image on the receiving side.

Here are the flags for my plugin: EMSF_Q4_COMPLETION | EMSF_WHOLE_MESSAGE |
EMSF_REQUIRES_MIME  | EMSF_GENERATES_MIME | EMSF_ALL_HEADERS

I've tried using EMST_LANGUAGE and EMST_PREPROCESS with the same results.

When I send it WITHOUT my plugin, I get the following MIME message:

=¾GIN==
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related;
        type="text/html";
        boundary="=====================_1895515026==_.REL"

--=====================_1895515026==_.REL
Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii"

<html>
cid test 13<br>
<img src="cid:.0" width€ height=72 alt="test1.bmp"><br>
</html>

--=====================_1895515026==_.REL
Content-Type: image/bmp; name="test1.bmp"
Content-ID: <.0>
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="test1.bmp"

Qk22QwAAAAAAADYAAAAoAAAAUAAAAEgAAAABABgAAAAAAIBDAADEDgAAxA4AAAAAAAAAAAAA////
... etc ...
--=====================_1895515026==_.REL--
==END==

However, when it gets sent through my plugin, the plugin gets the following
MIME message:

=¾GIN==
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii"

<html>
cid test 13<br>
<img src="cid:4.3.1.2.20000607135247.00ad5ca0@nome.authentica.com dot 0"
width€ height=72 alt="test1.bmp"><br>
</html>
==END==

Changing between "Styled" and "Plain & Styled" has no effect.

What's going on here?  How can I get the image?

Thanks,
Tim

Subject: Encrypting the same mail using different public keys

Hi,



I'm writing a Eudora plug-in that will do encryption, digital signing 

as well as decryption and signature verification. I knew that the 

plug-in can be triggered after the user completed composing it but 

before actually sending it out. My problem is how can the same e-mail 

content be encrypted with different public keys when there are 

several receivers for the same e-mail.



I've tried WorldTalk's WorldSecure Client, but it seemed that it 

hasn't handled this problem. I knew some of you may have considered 

this problem before, any idea? Thank you.

Subject: Multiple dllMain problem

MS VC++ 5.0, Win95:
1) I have a Eudora plugin dll which works. I have another dll with some
functions I would like to include in my plugin. Both dlls have been
tested independant of each other. Both are compiled as Multi-threaded
debug dlls. The Eudora dll uses the MFCs, the other dll does not. I have
no errors on building the combined project, but I cannot link
successfully. The full error is:
mfcs42d.lib(dllmodul.obj) : error LNK2005: _DllMain@12 already defined
in MSVCRTD.lib(dllmain.obj)
mfcs42d.lib(dllmodul.obj) : warning LNK4006: _DllMain@12 already defined
in MSVCRTD.lib(dllmain.obj); second definition ignored

Qualcomm docs mention this particular error, and their fix is to
simultaneously include and ignore the static libararies: mfcs42d.lib,
msvcrt.lib. If I try this, the link completes with just the warning
above, but the plugin is not even recognized by Eudora, and I don't see
any call to ems_plugin_version .

It makes sense that each of the dlls would have its own dllMain, and I
wouldn't expect the compiler to have a problem with this. Is there some
step I am missing during the link?

2) When I try to build the PseudoSquish example dll for Release, I get
an 'unsupported operation' error every time the progress callback
function is used. This looks like a system dll problem, but I am unaware
of any changes in the way function pointers are supported. Any ideas?

Subject: How to mark read-state, move to Trash
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2000 10:10:45 -0700

I'd like to produce a Win32 Eudora plug-in that would be able to mark
specific messages within the Inbox as read and/or move them to the Trash
folder.  This would be a manual operation that the user would initiate, with
the criteria for selecting based on Message Id, synchronizing actions taken
on messages at another replicated store.

It appears straight-forward to add a menu item and scan existing messages
using EMS.  It is possible to alter the read-state status of a message
programmatically?  It is possible to move a given message to the Trash
folder programmatically?  I didn't see an obvious way to do either in EMS,
but I may have missed something.  I'd rather avoid the Simple MAPI
techniques, too.

Direct manipulation of In.toc might be possible for read-state changes, but
then I'd have to force a refresh of views, which seems kludgy.  Also, moving
a message from the file In.mbx to Trash.mbx, and synchronizing the
corresponding .toc files would seem a way to do the deleted action, but
again I'm worried about doing this "behind Eudora's back" so to speak -- and
differences in file formats based on versions of Eudora, etc.

Thanks in advance for any info or hints on how to best accomplish this goal.

Subject: Progress callback problem

MS VC++ 5.0, Win95:
I have a Eudora plugin based on a modified pseudoSquish example. This
plugin works fine when compiled for 'debug'. When I compile for
'release', the plugin still works, but I get an 'unsupported operation'
error every time the progress callback function is used. I am not sure
if this is a result of a system dll version problem, or something else.

In the pseudoSquish example, the first line of ems_translate_file():
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
Was originally commented out, and noted that its presence could cause
progress callback problems. I have found that this line of code is
necessary to avoid a system crash.

I am trying to determine the cause of the error. This might be easier if
I knew the versions of  the libraries used to compile Eudora 4.3, and
which dll versions correspond to which static libraries.

Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 08:50:51 +0200

From: Gilles Serasset <Gilles.Serasset at imag dot fr>

Subject: International character sets

Hi,

I plan to write a plugin for Eudora (Macintosh only) that will

code/decode from UTF7/8 to/from Mac character sets.

This will allow users to send and receive messages containiing, say,

japanese AND French, not only Japanese and english.

1. With Mac OS 9, it is possible to compose an international message

(as eudora is based on the standard mac text manager), but:

     -> The fonts are not properly handled (changing the keyboard

changes the font, but eudora does not remember it) and the user has

to specify the font of each part of the text.

---> If the user just composes a text with Japanese and French

through, I get a text only body part and have no way to figure out

what part is in what font (hence getting a hint for conversion).

---> If the user changes the font (through the font menu), I get an

HTML message that has been translated to ISO 8859-1. As the

translation is not reversible, I cannot figure out what the original

characters were.

2. Playing with that, I discovered that Eudora knows how to dislay a

message in UTF7/8 provided that the header is correct (i.e. not

generated by netscape, but rather by Outlook Express). It is

surprising that I can receive an international mail, but I cannot

send any...

Hence the questions:

   - Am I totally dumb not to find a way to send UTF7 messages from Eudora ?

   - If not, is there a way to access the message WITH the style run

that is used when composition occurs ?

   - If not, is there a way to get the RAW html/enriched/whatever

content of the message before any conversion is made ?

Thanks in advance,

Gilles,

P.S. I did not see a lot of answers on this mailing list, just

questions most of the time. Could you please post answer in the

mailing list (if there is any).

Subject: On-Request not under composition

Hi!

I'm developing an Anti-Spam plug-in based on an AI algorithm (about 90% of 
accuracy, not based on filter rules).

The main algorithm is ready (and works very well! :) ), so now I'm trying 
to implement it on Eudora as plug-in..

This algorithm need a train set of e-mails, which the user have to specify 
if are spam or not. Do do this I've thought to use a simple button, on the 
toolbar, which the user press when the displayed e-mail is spam.

The problem is here: I need to read the e-mail, and I can do this with a 
"translator" plug-in, but the ON_REQUEST context works only under composition!
I cannot use ON_ARRIVAL or ON_DISPLAY because the user has not even read 
the e-mail!

And about the "special tools" translator, as I've read on the SDK it can't 
read or modify the e-mails displayed..

Anyone could please help me?

The plug-in will be totally free, that's a promise! :)

Bye!

Norman

P.S. The translator must work only with MIME:text/plain because the 
algorithm works with words, not pictures! :)

This behaviour, although it seems absurd, is needed to fix a 'bug' in 
Novell GroupWise. When I automatically let this software forward my

I also had a similar problem, and posted such question in 
this list on 20-Dec-2000. Nobody has answered.

As far as I understood from documentation and from my 
experience, there is no possibility to change headers.

I also wrote to Qualcomm (emsapi-info at qualcomm dot com), but 
also did not get any answer.

I even thought that I should write some sort of proxy 
driver that will change EMail messages automatically before 
they reach Eudora, but it is too complicated (compared to 
my wish of solving the problem).

I also wanted to fix some "bug". It was Eudora's bug: 
Eudora can not decode MIME-encoded headers 
(Quoted-Printable and BASE64-encoded). But the only thing I 
succeeded to do - is to write an interactive ON_REQUEST 
translator ("MimeHeaders"), which can change message 
headers in .MSG file, but can not do it in .TOC file.

I investigated this some time ago. The response from Qualcomm
was that you can't change the headers other than (indirectly) 
the Mime type. 

I ended up writing into the body of the message, which wouldn't meet
this requirement.

Subject: Plugin error in Eudora 5.0.2

Hi,

I've been working on a GPG plugin for Eudora 5.0.2, and i think
i have found a huge bug.

I use the globals of mechanism of the EMS to store my settings
during a session of Eudora, no problem there.

BUT, when Eudora exists it starts to free some of my allocated
memory by calling

extern "C" long WINAPI ems_free(
     void FAR* mem
)

No problem either except for the fact that eudora also calls
this function for the globals pointer that i passed during the
ems_plugin_init!

Next eudora calls

extern "C" long WINAPI ems_plugin_finish(
		void FAR* globals
)

Where i assume that "globals" still points to my
valid structure, but that is not the case as it
was already freed by a call to ems_free!! Thus
i get loads of Eudora crashes when it exists.

I hope than some Eudora developers are reading this
too, as I don't have a registration code yet i can't send
an email to them directly to notify them of this problem.

Thanks,

Ron

Hello, Mr. Randall Gellens.

First of all, thank you for your message.

Second, about some attributes of my current letter. I 
obtained two identical letters from you with different 
"From" fields, and replied on both addresses, because I did 
not know, which to choose. I also included subscribers of 
<eudora-emsapi> mailing lists, because "To" field of your 
message contained this address (as well as mine), so I 
thought you intended to send your message to this list 
also. In spite of this, I did not obtained your letter from 
the mailing list server (I've got it from you only), and 
when I visited archive of that mailing list, I did not find 
your message there. Your message did not contain 
"X-Noarchive" header, and I concluded that it could not 
enter the list because, e.g., you are not its member, or 
for some other reason. And I supposed you have got my 
message through some other member of the list. I hope that 
I succeeded to explain, why I filled "To" field of my EMail 
in such way, and I did not violate privacy of our 
correspondence. Please, inform me, if I'm wrong.

Now about the matter.

I do not agree with your sentence about inadmissibility of 
using BASE64 or QP encoding in EMail headers. More, you 
contradicts with yourself. The document you are referring 
to (RFC2047), explicitly points on validity of such usage.

And more, there are even some examples of such usage (see 
chapter 8 of this document):

    Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?SWYgeW91IGNhbiByZWFkIHRoaXMgeW8=?
     =?ISO-8859-2?B?dSB1bmRlcnN0YW5kIHRoZSBleGFtcGxlLg==?

This is an example of a BASE64-encoded header, which you 
can find on the place I specified, in the document that you 
are referring to as forbidding BASE64 encoding in EMail headers.

The same thing happens with QP- (Quoted-Printable) encoded headers.

Maybe, I did not understand you, and you only mean that the 
encoding is possible, but must conform to definite rules? 
For example, it must be framed by "=?" and "?=", contain 
character set specification, and so on?..

Anyway, most of common mailers support such headers, but Eudora - does not.

Together with this, as far as I understand, Eudora has no 
problem to decode these formats, when they exist in the 
body of a message (not in its headers).

That's why I consider lack of such capability in Qualcomm's mailer as bug.

Also I'd like to say a word about API. As far as I 
understand, it gives no possibility to decode MIME-encoded 
headers, even if plug-in programmer wants to do it, because 
API does not allow to change EMail's headers - neither on 
ON_ARRIVAL, nor on ON_REQUEST basis. Lack of this API 
feature brings very hard limitation on writing plug-ins 
using EMSAPI. It can not be considered as normal thing, 
even if it is documented in EMSAPI specification.

Thank you.

I'm using Eudora v5.0.2 for Win32, as you can see from my 
EMail headers. The same thing happens with ALL my friends, 
who use ANY version of Eudora under Windows (I have no 
possibilities to check it on other platforms), including v3.x, v4.x and v5.x.

According to your EMail, your variant of Eudora can decode 
headers which are encoded in RFC 2047. If you are right, 
then you shall see some 8-bit characters in the header of 
this EMail, and not "=?" sequence. What do you see?

By the way, what do you think about the original theme of 
the message? I'm speaking about impossibility to change 
EMail headers in plug-ins based on EMSAPI.

Subject: Delayed Processing Display String

Hi,

I'm new to the emsapi list, so I hope this is the type of question
that's appropriate.

I have a prototype plugin that sometimes has to delay processing until
a time of the user's choosing, so returns EMSR_NOT_NOW from the
appropriate call to ems_can_translate().

Eudora displays an icon in place of the mime block that I will
process, but also displays a file name next to it, which for me
is usually something like Untitled23.ems.

This is a bit confusing for the user, they have an icon to help them,
but probably have no idea what 'ems' is, and the name 'Untitled' is
not very clear. Is there any way that I can change this filename,
or even just the string that's displayed?

I'm trying to get Eudora to work with an IMAP server and Symantec's ACT.
Plans are stalled now b/c I don't think I can use VB to automate Eudora and
 
other projects demand attn.
Have to RTFM,
