Not all System Types will support every function. Gadgets not supported by the System Type will not be present in the dock.
Choosing this function will request the conference list the next time you call the system. This is required for THOR to update the conference flags correctly. This function is not available on all system types.
This brings up a requester asking for a filename for a file that will be obtained from the remote system on the next call. This function is not available on all system types. On TCP system, you may type in a full URL for the file to have it downloaded for you.
Example: ftp://ftp.thule.no/pub/thor/thor25upd.lha

The upload function is not available on all system types. If upload is ghosted you will have to do this manually.
Choosing this function brings up a requester with the current conference's name as default. You can enter any valid conference name here and you will be resigned from this conference next time you call the system.
You may select conferences from the list shown here, and you will be made a member of this conference, provided that this is not a restricted area on the system. This window will also let you use wildcard search (with automatically selection) for conference names. You can use multiselection to select more than one conference.
On system Types supporting it, this function will let you enter information about yourself for other users to examine.
This function marks all unread messages in the current conference as read (will not effect messages with the SuperUnread flag set).
THOR operates in three basic modes, "Unread", "All" and "Search". The Unread mode is used for reading only new messages, the All mode lets you read all messages, while the Search mode is used for browsing messages found in a previous message search.
Some aspects of the message reading behaves different in these three modes. Messages which are unread by you will not be marked read if in All mode, the list of conferences in the section Conference overview window shows all conferences when in All mode and you are not allowed to choose between only viewing the conferences with unread messages in and all conferences.
The section Message overview/list window shows only the Unread messages when in Unread mode, while it shows all messages in All mode. In Search mode, it will show all conferences with messages found in a previous message search.
If you follow a thread backwards in All mode, the nodes in the section Message overview/list window will be updated and the current shown message will be highlighted to reflect this. This works differently in Unread mode, since only unread messages are shown. If you follow a thread backwards in Unread mode, the list of messages in the Message list Window will not be updated and will still highlight the message you started threading on. For Unread mode, this is useful since choosing Next msg will bring you straight back to the message after the one you started the threading on.
Messages messages may be sorted in several ways useful for reading. Starting from THOR 2.5, not just unread messages may be grouped, but also messages in All and Search mode. This gadget is used to change the mode of reading to one of these:
Reference
Mine First
All First
MsgNr
Subject
Grouped
Subject Alpha
Grouped Alpha
Author
Grouped Author
This setting can be saved on a system or global basis using Visual Options from the Configuration menu.
