For me, when I put the Category in the fixed attributes for reply, I see the
Category but when I actually try to send the message - it says Category not
entered. I am sure I am doing something very stupid. Please help.

No, it was a bug, which I could reproduce now. I fixed it in revision 1.554. It will
be contained in the next release.
icon5.gif   How to import previous emails to elog ?, posted by Anand Sengupta on Fri Feb 18 08:43:42 2005 
Hi

We have setup a elog server and would like to import a bunch of emails as
elog entries. Is there some way we can do this ? Since there are hundreds of
emails, it is not possible to post them individually as new elog entries.

Many thanks,
Anand.

there any limits on the size of the other fields?

For some reason it looses the "m" so line 5 instead of having
"hh:mm" has "hh: m"


Please ideas ;)
Cheers,

Yes, this is controlled by the variable NAME_LENGTH in elogd.c, which is
currently set to 1500 characters. You can try to increase this and recompile,
but at some point you will produce a stack overflow and elogd will crash. So
the current length is a compromise.
