Postie and Message-ID

[atlanta1213]

Is there a way to set the Message-ID in the mail header when using Postie?

Try appending desired header line to the subject line after a @CRLF. For Example:

Code: Winbatch

AddExtender("WWPST44I.DLL")

strSubject="How to add Message-ID header"

; A common technique used by many message systems is to use a time and date stamp along with the local host's domain name, e.g., 950124.162336@example.com
strMsgid = TimeJulianDay( TimeYmdHms() ):'@winbatch.com'
strHeader = "Message-ID:  " : strMsgid
strSubjectHeader = strSubject:@CRLF:strHeader

kInit("mail.sample.com","me@sample.com","","","")
kDest("you@sample.com","","")
bResult = kSendText(strSubjectHeader,"How to add Message-ID header using Postie. Check my header.","","")
If bResult
   Message("Message","Sent")
Else
   Message("Error",kStatusInfo())
EndIf

Thanks so much for that information.  One question though, the message id created (for today) using that method is just the Julian day of 735714. Any tips on how I can get somehting specific down to the second?

See TimeYmdhms. Maybe something like:

Code: Winbatch

strMsgid = StrReplace( TimeYmdHms(), ':', ''):'@winbatch.com'
