attachedFile (property)

A file name which the contents of will be appended to the ArticleText when posting articles.

- (NSString*)attachedFile

- (void)setAttachedFile:(NSString*)newAttachedFile

Default Value

""

Remarks

The content of this property is appended to the text in ArticleText (if any) and sent to the news server. This property is useful for posting arbitrarily large articles and/or sending MIME attachments.

It is advisable that the text contained in the file be a collection of lines with lengths less than or equal to 80 bytes separated by CRLF ("\r\n") . The text in the message lines must contain only 7-bit characters so that the message may be successfully sent through the various Usenet news servers on the Internet.

The class automatically escapes lines that start with a "." by adding another as specified in RFC 822. The article text is unescaped by the news server, so the process is fully transparent.
