Yes, I have discussed this matter many times with other posters.
BinSearch determines the filename by looking for the double quotes that
normally surround it.
The reason for those quotes is to differentiate the <Filename> from
<Comments>. Comments are what the initial default PowerPost header shows
as: (????). I am sure you have seen that in headers many times from
newbies.
So if you have a subject header that contains both comments and a
filename, BinSearch needs the double quotes to determine which witch is
which.
Most posters create a subject header in the following way:
<Comments> - "$F" - [$1/$2] yEnc
The comments are often <Title> <(Year)>, along with many other annoying
things, and the filename is usually some short, cryptic redundancy of
their comments.
I don't use comments in my subject headers, thus there is no need to
differentiate my filename from something that isn't there. That is why I
don't use the quotes. (I don't use 'yEnc', either, since it isn't
necessary. I don't care what http://www.yenc.org would rather have you
believe.)
And so my PowerPost header consists of only the following:
$F - $1 of $2
The BinSearch program may be written to look for the double quotes, and
if it can't find them, offer up a warning message, but it gets my
filename right every time. It has no other choice.
