  • Htick Announce

    From Paul Hayton@3:770/100 to All on Fri Mar 12 13:52:49 2021
    With AnnInclude I'm wondering how this works when you want to select more
    than one echomail tag?

    In my case I have FSX_GEN or FSX_ENG etc. and I want to state several of them to be included in what is posted to the AnnAreaTag

    I can see examples like union.* for AnnInclude but how would I use the wildcard for the echo tags above?

    Can I use FSX_*

    Or if I wanted to be more granular could I do

    AnnInclude FSX_GEN FSX_ENG etc... on a single line?

    The AnnInclude is used to include file areas. Use * for all areas or FSX_* to include just the FSX_* file areas.

    I use one group of Ann* tags for each area I want to post in.

    AnnInclude is for the file areas you want included in the report. Each report you want to generate needs it's own AnnAreaTag, AnnInclude, AnnTo, AnnFrom, AnnSubject and AnnOrigin.

    Fun Fact:

    You can use a filename for AnnAreaTag to create a file you can post yourself.

    AnnAreaTag @/usr/local/fido/essnasa.txt
