[hylafax-users] PATCH: "faxmail -d" vs. X-FAX-Dialstring

[Maurice Galland <maurice.galland@kariboo.com>]

Hi HylaFAX users,

Here is a small patch against faxmail/HylaFAX 4.1.5 to make "faxmail -d" 
and "X-FAX-Dialstring" behave the same:

             job->setDialString(*s);
         if (job->getDialString() == "")
             fxFatal("No Destination/Dialstring specified");
END PATCH ------------------------------------------------------------

HTH, comments welcome,

Maurice

Hi there,

Does anyone have an idea why:

'faxmail -d "John Doe@5551234"'

can extract "John Doe" as the recipient and 5551234 as the fax number to
call, whereas:

'X-FAX-Dialstring: "John Doe@5551234"'

is interpreted as a number and translated according to the dialrules ???

It is confirmed by a look at the C++ code where, in the file
faxmail.c++, one can read:

const fxStr* s;
if (s = findHeader("x-fax-dialstring")) // dialstring in envelope
      job->setDialString(*s);

???!

Maurice
