Obviously sms has no subject so I am just wondering how the mailack would work when recieving a message back ? By default does it look for the ACK code only in the subject or does it also look in the body ? If by default it only looks in the subject is it possible for us to bodge up the code and tell it to read from the body & subject, or just the body ?

Currently, it only looks in the subject for the ack code.

You can change that. Try this patch against the hobbit-mailack.c file:
Save it to a file, then run patch hobbitd/hobbit-mailack.c </tmp/ack-body.patch
and re-compile with "make".


With this patch, you should be able to put a line into the message body with
ack 129102
which is the ack code that is normally taken from the subject. You
can also put a
delay=120
to make the ack valid for 120 minutes.


The first line which does not match either of these is taken a the
ack message which is displayed on the webpage.

Henrik I'm guessing by the timestamp on the patch file that you only just created this patch after I mailed about it ?

If so I cannot thank you enough and I'm sure many others will also. Your constant work effort and dedication to hobbit is excellent :)
