Clement,
We have done some more experimenting with your excellent www4mail
program at the National Library of Medicine in the United States.
We had problems making it work with our searchable PubMed database
until we commented out one line in the code.
In the tag_strip subroutine you have two lines as follows:
#Convert = to space
$newpart =~ s/\=/&\#32/g;
You are converting '=' to an HTML space. You also convert some other
characters to space.
Converting '=' to ' ' does not seem to work with our pages. So I
commented that line out, and then everything worked. However, before
we make this change permanent, I thought that I should tell you about
it and ask if you think this will break something else.
If you would like to try searching our database, start with:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/
If you would like to try using our copy of the www4mail server, you
can reach it at www4mail@spine.nlm.nih.gov. We have configured the
server using .allow and .deny to only search pages at the National
Library of Medicine. This server is not yet available to the public,
so please do not broadcast its presence yet.
Thank you again for your fine program.
Regards,
Alan Meyer
