When you get an email on your mailstation it is stored around 0x024d00, I w=
as messing with some mail using the hex editor and thought of something, co=
uld you send an email that contained the hex code for a program to the mail=
station and then use another program to relocate the email code to a locati=
on where you could access and run it?

, I was messing with some mail using the

I don't see why not=

You might even be able to email a binary image, but I am
not sure it w=
ould make it through the email process undamaged.
What I was doing to get =
code loaded on a stock mailstation
was loading it to the splash screen imag=
e with mailbug.
Then, with mailstations hex editor, I entered a "jump"
to t=
hat image as a very short app (9 bytes). When executed
from the "extras" o=
r "yahoo" menu, it would then copy itself
to one of the "app" pages.
I onl=
y used that process to load a "bootapp", which acted
as the remote end of m=
ailbug, my remote debugger.
After the bootapp was installed, I would load =
subsequent
apps to ram using mailbug, and then run them. The technique
of =
having the app copy itself to the app space worked so good
I just kept usin=
g it to copy these ram images to the dataflash,
and never did add (to mailb=
ug) a function to write directly to
dataflash.

The ones with the Yahoo function could get small images it seems.

nction could get small images it seems.
If you mean the "TV listings" e=
tc., they were just one big
graphic image. But I imagine they were sent as=
mime attachments
of some sort. I was wondering if you could send executab=
le
binary code as the body of an email, and then just jump to the
saved ema=
il to run it. But the more I think about it, I am
not sure just what you c=
ould send an email like that with.
Certainly not any standard email client.=
Usually even attached files are encoded as text, aren't they?
It's proba=
bly a better idea to send intel hex format, and have
a loader on the mailst=
ation decode it to binary. And then
it could write the binary to a free ap=
p page!
Or load it into ram and execute it. That might require
the mailst=
ation reboot when done executing, unless you
could find enough ram that is =
unused (or rarely used???).

ISTR they could get 'special' emails which set them to a particular ISP or =
whatever.
Not sure what the format of those was.
The Yahoo thing also did=
weather and a couple more things I think.
