Hey Gamgee!

Sure thing. As long as your on a personal computer, and don't share it with
others:

getpkt:

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/user/mmail/down
wget --ftp-user= --ftp-password= ftp:///.qwk

cd /home/user/mmail

putpkt:

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/user/mmail/up

ftp -nv <
user  
bin
put .rep
quit
EOF

rm .rep

cd /home/user/mmail

Technically you could use the FTP method for both transfers (using 'get'
instead of put), but I did the script with 'wget' first, and soon after
realized 'wput' was a thing at some point, but isn't maintained anymore and
isn't in my distro's repositories.

Change your paths to match your system, fill in your authentication
information, make them executable, and you're off to the races!

FYI, I don't remove the QWK packet, because I can do that in Multimail once
I'm done reading/replying. But I do remove the .REP packet after I send it,
otherwise the next time I run that script it'll send it again, probably
causing dupes. Unless there's some fancy numbering of .REP packets Multimail
does that I don't yet know about (I didn't read the docs, I just figured MM
out by mashing buttons, lol).

Regards,
Nick
