The Blue Wave Offline Mail Door Configuration Menu Help
C)hoose Message Areas for Download
----------------------------------
Allows you to select and deselect which message areas you want to download
through the mail door. When selecting areas, you are presented with a
choice to download ALL messages in the area, only personal messages in the
area, or Personal message *and* those addressed to "All".
P)rotocol
---------
Allows you to define the transfer protocol (Zmodem, Xmodem, ect.) that you
would like to use to transfer mail packets between your computer and the
BBS.
A)rchiver
---------
Allows you to select the compression method you would like to use when
downloading your mail packet. (ZIP, ARC, LZH, ARJ, etc.)
{PAUSE}
N)ew File Listings in Packets
-----------------------------
After packing your messages for download, the mail door will scan the BBS
file areas for new files since your last successful mail download. There
are three choices for this option:
NO - Do not bother building a new file listing.
YES - Build a new file listing (text, no color).
COLOR - Build a new file listing, and include ANSI colors.
*** NOTE ***
The Sysop may have disabled this option on the configuration menu.
U)se Numerical Packet Extensions
--------------------------------
When the mail door builds your mail bundles, it normally names the packet
extensions with the day of the week and the number of the packet for the
day (MO1, TU2, WE7, TH1, etc). If you would like you packets to have
sequential numeric extensions (001, 002, 003, etc), turn this option ON.
{PAUSE}
G)raphics Mode (On/Off)
-----------------------
Normally, the mail door will use color if you have selected to use color
within the BBS. However, you may turn COLOR off in the door, if you like.
H)otkey Menu Selections
-----------------------
The mail door allows you to input most menu selections without having to
press [ENTER] to accept the command. You may need to turn Hotkeys off if
you have frequent line noise.
B)undle Messages From You
-------------------------
If you turn this option OFF, the door will not bundle any messages into
your mail packet that have either your name or alias in the FROM: field.
X)pert Menu Mode
----------------
Enables the door's EXPERT menus. You should not use this option if you
are not familiar with the way the mail door operates.
{PAUSE}
R)eset Lastread Pointers
------------------------
Allows you to change which messages the mail door thinks you have read.
If you reset your pointers 3 days, this means the door will attempt to
send you 3 days worth of mail on your next download.
L)imit Download Packet Size
---------------------------
The mail door allows you to define the MAXIMUM size of your UNcompressed
mail packet. Set this option to "0" (Zero) if you do not wish to limit
your mail packet size. Otherwise, you may set this to any number greater
than 50. When the uncompressed size of your mail packet exceeds your
limit, the door will cease bundling and allow you to download as much mail
as will fit into your "packet size window".
S)et Password Options
---------------------
The mail door allows you to define a password as an "extra" security
measure against other people accessing your mail. This command will allow
you to define your password and HOW the mail system is to USE this
password (door, reader, or both).
{PAUSE}
K)eyword Selection
------------------
Allows you to define up to 10 keywords of up to 20 characters apiece.
When the mail door scans the BBS's message base for mail, you will be
informed of any keywords that are present in the various message bases.
You can then use the Blue Wave Bundling Commands to download ONLY the
messages that contain these keywords. Please see the reader's
documentation for more details.
F)ilter Selection
-----------------
Filters perform very similarly to the K)eywords option, but instead the
door will allow you to FILTER out the messages that you do not want to
download. Again, please see the reader documentation for more details.
M)acro Definitions
------------------
The mail door allows you to define three macros that you can use for
often-entered Bundling Commands. Instead of typing a long, cumbersome
string each time you download mail, simply define a Macro! At the command
prompt, you can then simply type "M1", "M2", or "M3".
