This is a conversion of the PlutRieve program to run under a Foozle
setup instead of a vanilla *.MSG base.  It gets the directory and
tagnames from the Foozle.areas file instead of the TrapToss Fido.cfg,
and maintains the 214-byte message headers instead of the plain 190-byte
*.MSG headers.

PlutRieve is a program to automatically scan messages in your BadMail
directory, and retrieve them into your ordinary message bases.

Messages get into the BADMAIL area for a variety of reasons, and a lot
of them ARE bad messages - you wouldn't want them in distribution.  But
I find that the majority of messages that go into BAD do so for two main
reasons:  (a) it's a new area and you haven't set it up in your config
or (b) the system sending you the messages isn't configured in the
export-to line, due to an error, or a changing node number.

It's for these two problems that PlutRieve comes to the rescue.
Previously these messages would be very difficult to rescue, involving a
lot of manual work copying messages about and possibly editing the
messages at the binary level.  Also, any messages saved this way would
have an untidy "AREA:" line at the head of the text when sent to other
systems.

PlutRieve will be a very useful program to use in conjunction with
Foozle - once you've used it I guarantee satisfaction!

    Mea Culpa, Peter Deane
