Why don't you repeat the process of collecting their public key and
submitting theirs, or turn off encryption? You're not in Special Ops now

I thought that was all automatic. Anyways, it's a bit of a kludge, but
I've got it doing what I need.
First, I use Thunderbird, which has an extension called
ImportExportToolsNG. I use that to convert the inbox for
tropics@jdgblogs.com to an mbox, stored in /home/jim/jstrack/filt/mbox
called tropbox. When it gets email from WX-ATLAN (the only thing it gets
in that email address), it runs a command to speak the word, tropics
(UNLESS I have it silenced, e.g., when doing video captures).
Second, I run a sh script called getTropics, which does the following:
1) reminds me (or user for next release of JStrack) to extract the
tropics (whatever they call it) to the above dir. It then pauses for
an ENTER.
2) It then runx mbox.tcl (a combination of a package that reads mbox
headers added inside the mbox2mh Tcl code (Tcl8.4 couldn't find that
package (same error with TLS ... just won't see it even if you hard
code its location) and one that actually extracts all of the messages
from the mbox.
3) It then pipes each message via a for i in * type loop to the filt.tcl
script. Most messages are simply added to a file that provides all of
the reference data. One type file, the NHC's FORECAST/ADVISORY is
sent to another script that "reads" that product and extracts the
actual complete data on the storm and adds it to the bottom of a
special file with tracking information. When JStrack is running, it
will see that file modified in real-time and update its tracking chart
and, if the user has it configured, send them whatever alert they
configured.
So it's all where it needs to be, and this method can fix the problems
win$ users have always had getting the data (JStrack was originally only
written for Unix variants, like Linux, Ultrix, SunOS, Slowaris, IBM's AIX
(spit), FreeBSD, NetBSD, and the list goes on and on forever). But
win$$$ doesn't have an MTA - MDA - MUA setup. M$ likes massively huge,
all-in-one bloatware. That means no procmail which, if fetchmail was
working, would be the next step in getting the data in true real-time.
Oh, and no, I'm not in 16th Special Operations Wing Intelligence anymore.
That was from July 1999 to 1Aug01, then 11Sep01 to 01Apr22, then HQ
AFSOC//IN until mid-2003, then USSOCOM//J2 (J2 is Joint Intelligence),
all at Hurlburt Field, FL (just a bit down Hwy 98 from here). At the
Wing, I was a (self-titled) Intelligence Systems Analyst, meaning I got
to play with all of the cool toys that never existed and likely never
will. I also ran the classified web pages for getting intel and other
materials out to deployed personnel both on the collateral (secret) side
and on the high side (top secret//sci). That was, of course, when I
existed. Sometimes I didn't exist, and nothing I did or was part of ever
happened.
I know this is a bit off-topic, but I didn't start the bit about not
being in intelligence anymore, so what the hell.... My dagger mount,
from 1Apr02, when I officially was hijacked back to the HQ, reads:

While the whole mbox issue is not fixed, my needs, so I'm marking
it solved, as I won't be following it anymore.
Thanks, everyone!
