Hi All,

I'm just set up HPT and HTick on my Windows 7 system, which is running as a
hub for another network. Echomail is flowing quickly! I'm loving it!

The only issue that I'm having, is incoming netmail messages are giving me
the error message of:
Exception 0xc0000005 (Access violation) at address 0x002a9a1e

It will then leave the .tos file in my inbound.

The settings are set up roughly the same way that my Linux system is running, so those should be correct.

I'm just not sure where I should be looking to try to figure this one out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I know what is causing your issue. You are running Windows, that's what it is.

That was my first thought as well. :) It may be changing in the not too
distant future, but I'd like to get it running right for now.

Hello Dan,

If my subject line looks strange, GoldED does that for some reason with subject
lines that begin with "Re:". I have not been drinking.. ;)

If you rename those .tos files back to .pkt do you get the same results?

One thing to try is grab the latest from the gitbub page or..

http://download.huskyproject.org

I'm not sure of the version you are running but something to try.

Sure... That's what they all say... ;)

Yes, I get the same results. I still have them in the inbound directory, and will periodically try renaming and tossing them. Each time, I get the (Access violation) crash.

I guess I should have stated that in the original post... It's hpt/w32-mvc 1.9.0-cur 2019-01-08. I'll grab the current one from November, and see what happens.

Ok, I just updated to: hpt/w32-mvcdll 1.9.0-cur 2019-11-24, and I'm still getting the error... :(

Great idea though! :)

Bummer that. I have never used a windows version of hpt and have never seen anything like that in the linux version I run here. I also just updated to 2019-11-24 a week or so ago.

What is happening there ^^^ (in the Subject line)?

That happens when I'm using golded and I reply to a message that has a subject line that starts with "Re:".

I'm not sure why that is, it's been that way for a number of years.

EDITREPLYRE <yes/no/numeric> (no)

If enabled, GoldED inserts the "Re:" string in front of the
subject when you reply to a message. If not enabled, GoldED will
strip any leading "Re:" when you reply to a msg.

The "Re:" string in subjects is an obsolete practice, and today it
only slows down modern replylinking software. Do yourself and
others a favor and let GoldED strip the Re: in your replies.

The "numeric" option makes GoldED use numeric Re:'s, of the form
"Re^n:".

This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups.

Even with that mail I cannot reproduce the problem. When does it happen? right after reply in editing mode or after the mail was saved?
I wonder what the difference between my Golded and your Golded are. You use Squish? 32 or 64 bit?

It happens as soon as I hit <Alt>Q to reply, I can see it in the header.

I am currently using Jam bases but have seen the same with Squish bases also.
use a mix of OSs, generaly slackware or debian, always the x86_64 releases.

Maybe it a 32 vs 64 bit thing?

Does what?
If you set it to no it will not insert Re: and strip it from replies.
If you set it to yes it will add Re:.
If you set it to numeric it will generate Re^n:

Works like a charm.
I set it to yes for this reply.
Will delete it again, as I do NOT want Re: in the subject for my replies.

My subject lines get scrambled.

I don't want the Re: on there either. I wouldn't mind if it just left it there untouched.

My golded does that by default without any EDITREPLYRE keyword in the config.
added that keyword in the hope it would make a difference but it doesn't.

The subject is scambled before it's written to the message base, it seems it doesn't have anything to do with the message base.

I use a mix of OSs, generaly slackware or debian, always
the x86_64 releases.

Maybe it a 32 vs 64 bit thing?

Maybe. My Linux is 32-bit (Raspbian).

You could try MsgEd ;)

I don't think so.

Maybe. My Linux is 32-bit (Raspbian).

That is my best guess. Only a guess.

You could try MsgEd ;)

I like msged also although I don't have it up and running ATM. I takes a little
care and attention to get set up. I think that was Tobias's doing some years ago and it hasn't been looked at in a long time.

Msged also uses .sql last read pointers. That's not really a problem but if you
pick up again with another editor like golded it won't know where you left off. That's only an issue if you use Jam messages bases.

I find when replying with msged the quotes can be a little zig zagy so you need
to fix that up a bit, if you care about those things.

None the less msged is a very capable message editor and I'll likely have it up
and running here sooner or later.

I have sent you any email with the archive attached. I currently running hpt/w32-mvcdll 1.9.0-cur 2019-11-24 on a Windows 7 Professional SP1 64bit system.

I've noticed that HPT is not able to toss these messages, but it does send a netmail to me indicating a new echo was auto-added. So, I'm not thinking it
is a file access issue...

Thank you so much for taking a look at this. I really appreciate it.

There is an issue in your hpt configuration. Your address is defined after the netmail area is defined. But the main address must be defined before any areas. It is better to define address at the very beginning where you define name, location and sysop. Since neither tparser nor hpt checked this I fixed the bug. Now both of them will complain for the wrong definitions order.

You may download the new versions here: https://github.com/huskyproject/fidoconf/releases/latest https://github.com/huskyproject/hpt/releases/latest

tparser is in the fidoconf archive.

I can't believe I didn't notice that... I feel like an idiot now... :)
That's what happens when you keep adding lines to the config, without paying attention to where they are...

Thank you SO much for taking a look at it for me.

I'm going to upgrade them now. :)

Hello Dan,

Don't feel that way. It's something that can happen when first setting up and now because of your experience tparser will also report the issue when it happens.

Your setup has been working well for echomail and I have made so many adjustments to my config over the years it would make your head spin.. :)

I just guess all the hours I spent staring at that config, and going through
it line-by-line, I would have noticed that.

I am very grateful to the addition to tparser. It was my best friend, or
worst enemy, while I was first trying to set up hpt and htick. ;)

Glad to hear the echomail has been flowing smoothly. I'm still making tweaks
to my config here on CRBBS config as well. :) Always something else to try/setup. ;)
