Hello g00roo,

So I'm looking for a command line mail reader, Linux.

You can always just use Mystic has a command line reader. I have a "reader.bat" that just runs Mystic, logs in, and goes to the reader directly. All I have to do is type "reader" from any command line and it opens Mystic's index reader.

Command line example:
mystic -uNugax -pPASSWORD -xmailread

Good to know. I had been using Golded+ as a reader with Mystic. I will give the
specified command line a try. Thanks.

When I used the command line specified above (Edited with my data) I get
the following response. A35 here was updated from A34.

I take it that MPL didn't get updated somewhere along the line.

Jeff jump in to your script dir and then run ./mplc -all

That will recompile all your scripts. Make sure the version of MIDE and MPLC are the current A35 versions :)

As you see you have a version mismatch, something didn't get updated. Likely
a permissions thing with a file. Check the files from the original A35, you have one from A28 from the error message. If you moved them all it would work as it's what I just did on mine which is under Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and working. The last time I had that problem I did 'diff -s oldfile newfile' till I found the old files and got them updated. I update buy installing to /nmystic and copying files from there to /mystic, then compare the two till I find the problems and fix them (when diff says they match) when I see such things.

Yeah... That should have been my first thought. <sigh>

Updated MIDE and MPLC and recompiles the scripts and all is well. Thanks
for nudging my memory. <g>

Sometimes I think it's me that didn't get updated. <g> Actually, I at some point didn't update MIDE and/or MPLC. Soon as I updated the file(s) to the A35
version and recompiled the scripts. The mismatch error ceased.

Great! It can take a bit to update. I have a script and compare it to the update.txt g00r00 puts in updates, but I've hit that same error message ;)
