Yes, that option can be turned off. I've run RoboMail under Windows and
OS/2 with that turned on and did not notice any real slow down in speed.

NT│ I would like to know if there is anyway to filter (twit)
│ incoming mail based on subject or recipient, rather than just
│ sender?
Look at David Harden's QWKprune utility. It installs as part of the
unpacking process (you use a batch file for your unpacker that first
calls the archiving program and then calls QWKprune), and will prune
messages from a QWK packet based on very flexible twitlist-like
characteristics. Since the pruning takes place before Robomail sees
the messages, it works just as well as (if not better than) a filtering
capability built into the reader. It will also have the side effect of
getting rid of all of those %$&*! RE: prefixes! <g>
(NOTE: the most recent copy of QWKprune which I've seen didn't come
with instructions for Robomail. RM does not change to the scratch
directory before running the unpacker; therefore, the batch file will
have to provide QWKprune with the name of the scratch directory so that
it can access the unpacked QWK contents. Other than that, I installed
it using the same procedure I used with Jabber.)

FV> using it, registered it, and am a convert after having used PMDBM for
FV> 18 months. Hope this helps. Bye .. :-))
KD│ I looked at Robo. I refuse to use it for long unregistered, and
KD│ don't know if I like it much anyway in comparison to Mega. It may
KD│ still not have the one thing I need: to be able to change BBSs in
KD│ your reply. Sometimes I have to use a backup BBS for mail, and to avoid
KD│ confusion I like to send my replies back through my usual board if
KD│ at all possible. [especially on RIME with routed mail and all]. So
KD│ I just edit the header and the reply goes to the board I wish it
KD│ to. I will not use any reader that cannot do that. Speed and PQWK
KD│ cannot, I don't know absolutely for certain about Robo (I know you
KD│ can forward replies, but I don't want this to look like a forward).
You can edit the header before you save it, and hence can do what you
want to do. You can even send someone else's message and it appears as
that it comes from that other person. I haven't done that myself, but
with RoboMail you can do a lot of things. First thing I did was to
print-out the entire docs with over 60 pages, ad that made it very
easy in the beginning. Once you know everything then you will not need
it any longer. You have 21 days to evaluate RoboMail, and it is not
crippled, like some other readers are.
And yes you can change BBSes, if you have the mail packet in there of
course. I believe that is what you can, right. I have assembled a list
of my most frequent names and routed addresses, and when I for instan-
ce want to change the name, I just press the F-10 key, and there pops
up the names list. Just cursor to the name, and <enter> and voila, it
is all filled-out in the proper headings. You may have missed that,
Karen, when you tried it before. First time I used RM I was also dis-
appointed, and set it aside. Went back to my old reader, PMDBM, and
then a good friend of mine kept urging me along to try it out serious-
ly, and so I did. Now I love it. I am so used to it, and it's ability
and flexibility this reader offers, that it amazes me the things it
all can do. Hope this helps you to reconsider another test ride,
Karen. Good luck, and bye ... :-))

Got me on that one. When I tried Speed, I always ran it with
SEDIT. The dividing line got blurred in my mind. Yes, the smart
quoting *and* the reformating were good features, and I did like
the color changes while reading messages. It did not always work
(due to the weird stuff that some people do for quote indicators)
but it was right a very high percentage of the time.

For a 286? Depends on memory you have. Check out Speed and MegaMail. I
would of course recommend Robomail. I feel it is the BEST reader,
however, it is demanding on system resources so I don't think you would
be happy with it. You can always try. If you have a lot of memory, then
it'll probably work fine for you.

Just wanted all to know, I will be out of town for a while. My mother
is having heart surgery on Thursday. She is supposed to have a
catherisation (sp) and then they will "do whatever they need to do."
Not sure if their going in with the balloon or doing a heart by-pass.
In 1979 she had a quad by-pass. I am assuming they will try another.
I'll be here Saturday and then leave Sunday for a week long Jr. High
camp.
all of this means that I will be out of commission for over a week. I
will try to answer all of my mail, but if you could hold it (RoboMail
has this feature (thought i'd give it a plug)), until after the 4th, it
would be great. I have to take my computer with me so I won't even be
able to use my scheduler to automatically d/l my mail.
I still have a couple of days before I have to leave, so you'll probably
still be getting mail from me for a while. See ya.

I think that it depends on the QWK software that your BBS is running,
not on your reader. The reader *always* puts the time and date you
created / last edited the message into the header. However, the
software at the BBS end *may* reset this time/date when it imports your
REP file -- Cam-Mail seems to do this. Some other QWK software (MKQwk
for Remote Access, for one) leaves the time/date as your reader set
them.

Well, Hector called me Saturday, and the problem was that I had
the archive detect switch on, but I needed to edit the ARCHIVER.DAT file
(or get the latest one from his BBS) in order to allow it to pick the
right version of PKZIP/UNZIP for each packet (it was calling the old
ZIP, which worked fine for the packets archived with it, but not for the
packets archived with the new ZIP). I hope that this information clears
up any other people's problems with Silver Xpress not reading mail
packets.
If anyone does have problems opening mail packets, call Hector's
BBS and download the file ARCHIVER.ZIP from the READERS directory, it
contains the latest ARCHIVER.DAT file, which lets Silver Xpress detect
which archiver to use for unpacking mail and packing the replies.
On the problem with taglines, I found that you are not prompted
for either a signature or tagline, if you merely HOLD the reply message.
You are prompted for both if you save it to the reply packet. If you
hold it, then you must edit it (even if you add nothing to it) and save
it to get it to add the signature and tagline when you decide that you
want to send the reply (this is useful if you end up replying to several
messages that are quite alike, and decide that you only want to send one
reply).
Again, thank you for your help, I hope this allows you to be of
better help to the next guy you get this question from. Now we will
attempt to set up the RBBS-PC version of the door on an Osiris BBS (I
think it is by the author of the Osage text editor), of which I just
became a co-sysop.
Happy testing,

That's plenty. 1024k should be good up to about 325k for QWKs. And
RoboMail will stop safely if a packet is too much.

Yes. It's one of the configuration options. The result is that the
maintenance takes longer, but the response time following the
maintenance is faster. Also note that the more messages marked for
discarding, the longer it takes (though this is only really noticeable
with messagebases of 5mb+). There may be a way to speed this up using
the Age 0 option instead of Discard, but I can't say for sure until I
test the Age 0 option more. If you (or anyone else out there),
discover(ed) anything interesting, let me know.

You're probably right, but I have plenty of memory to give it elsewhere,
so I think I'll pass on testing this. In fact, I've ran into DBF as a
potential solution several times, but there always seems to be a better
way working directly through the offending software.
IF there is anyone out there willing or needing to try, be sure to set
DBF=10 on your QEMM line and then work your way down if you wish to

You can do far more with RoboMail! It's not automatic, but you can
query by subject alone, along with those that are not as obvious and
require reading of the message before you realize its junk mail!
For example, I use this Query to get rid of all announcement type
messages:
┌────────────────────── Query Messages
│ Look For: ("CONFEREN"|"PROUD"|"CARRY")&"ALL "
│ Search: [X] Message Text Start ▄
│ [ ] Sender ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
│ [X] Recipient Cancel ▄
│ [ ] Subject ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
└
I then press F4 (bulk marking) and select Discard, start it. After
two seconds or so, I select F5 to process those messages out, and
after another few seconds, press Shift-Tab to return to reading that
conference. As should be obvious, one of the powerful features of
RoboMail is that its bulk marking and processing will operate within
queries to provide precise results in minimal time and with minimal
eye strain.

Well, believe it or not, the problem was easily resolved as
soon as I d/l'd my next "virgin" QWK packet -- seems the
BlueWave reader had a problem in reading a packet which had a
few, say, "adjustments" made to it by the previous offline
reader which I had been testing (not too EZ to speak about
this...). Strangely, that previous reader could continue to
read a QWK packet which had been previously utilized and marked
by BlueWave -- it just would not work vice versa. In any case,
I now can happily try out BlueWave on QWK packets, as long as I
don't play mix and match with the various readers on the same
packet.

MK> 1st, Speed, SLMR, and KingQWK are all good first-timers.
I'll disagree with 1st for a couple of reasons. First of all, it is
crippled, and only will read a certain number of messages until
registered. Not a good idea for a first timer who wants to get into
it. (I don't have a vendetta against crippling, I just don't think
it's a good idea for first timers to choose a crippled program and
in my financial state I can't consider using them). Second, it will
only read qwk packets it downloaded itself. I tried to get it to
work on packets I already had and it wouldn't even recognize them.
This means a first time user has to figure out how to get the term
program and scripts/prompts set up BEFORE he/she can start reading!
Too limiting for me. I already have 2 term programs on my hard
drive (Qmodem and Intellicomm) and a 3rd would be really a waste.
I imagine a first timer could handle Speed, but the database
readers are generally harder to learn than the single packet
readers.

I don't believe RM allows header editing. I know it doesn't in the
folder section, where it is needed the most. It would be nice to be able
to change the subject line of messages in folders so that they reflect
our reason for putting it in the folder in the first place. Editing the
message would be nice to, to cut down on space (by taking out non-

How come with OLX-Td2 I sometimes run out of memory afterI've spent
hours writing a reply and then LOSE it!! Why can't it somehow save my
replies or tell me I'm going to run out so I don;t waste my time? I have
at least 20 mb hard drive space and 16 mb ram on a 486dx50. I usually
run OLX out of windows. thanks Susan

DJ│ our reason for putting it in the folder in the first place. Editing the
DJ│ message would be nice to, to cut down on space (by taking out non-
DJ│ essential stuff).
What happens, when you reply to the message, then press Alt-N and
switch to the original text of the messages header. You can then edit
the header, save it, can you not? I have seen that but haven't used it
myself. If it is not possible, well, then it is one other thing we
should ask Dan Parsons.... You have a good point. Bye .... :-((

BlueWave uses a proprietary format and its author has not yet released
it. He has been talking about releasing it long enough but still has not
... so one wonders whether he is serious about that. So until he does
release it officially and make it really public, it is hard for anyone

Most what you say above I can also do in RoboMail, Chau. You do it
when you have finished the message, you will then first be presented
with the spell checker, and it runs super fast thru that, then the
header with ALL the fields are presented to you, and you can change
to your heart's delight. I can change for instance by placing the
cursor on the TO: field and press F-10 and I will be presented by a
list I have made up of anyone I want to send the message to. In that
field will then be changed all the details, such as the BBS and the
routing address etc. details, so fewer keystrokes will be required.
You can of course also change it any way you may want, and that is
indeed really great. Thanks for the explanations you have given above
and as I can tell MegaMail is indeed a very powerful mailreader with
many desirable features. Now if only Kip would get back to work on it
and upgrade it to the very latest features the newer readers have...

YES! (Sort of....) Here's how it works: Press F2 and select
RoboMail settings. Next, go to this page:
RoboMail Configuration - Directories
Location of Incoming QWK Packets: D:\ROBO\IN\
Location of Outgoing REP Packets: D:\ROBO\OUT\
Location of File Attachments: D:\ROBO\ATT\
Archive Extraction Work Directory: E:\ROBOARC\
D: is a harddisk and E: is a RAM disk. ROBOARC is a nonexistent
directory that RM creates during the import process to extract the QWK
file to. The other directories all exist. The ..\IN directory is
where the QWKs and !WKs are stored.
With that aside, now back up to:
RoboMail Configuration - System Settings
Location for temporary disk swap files: D:\ROBO\SWAP\
... which is where RM swaps itself if it doesn't have any EMS or XMS
to swap to, or runs out. So far, 384k EMS has been enough swap area
to avoid any disk swaps.
Finally ...
RoboMail Configuration - Mail Importing
... and set ...
Number of previously imported QWK files to archive: 0
... unless you really feel the need to keep a backup. Alternatively,
you can set the default Age days to 1. In fact, unless you process
your mail, RoboMail will hold it forever regardless of settings. As
you can see, I have no back up QWKs. Nuts? No. I have a batch file
that extracts the pointer file, so if my packet looks like a letter
from the postal service, I just reset the pointers and redownload.
(For anyone dialing LD, it's probably best to keep 1 backup QWK.)
In short, RoboMail will recognize an import directory, a QWK work
directory, and a swap directory - and all can have different or
identical settings.

Why don't I need to lock HMA? I thought RM used it?
I have EMS locked, meaning I don't want it to swap to disk (as per
Windows Use Guide), it doesn't have anything to do with other
programs using it (at least that's not what I found in Windows User

I have set the /OP0 switch in RM's parameter line. It doesn't crash

Yes, as I have mentioned that other readers have the option to change
header either Before or After entering message, but MegaRead works
differently. With MegaRead you can re_edit the header at anytime, you
can re_edit any message w/o having to reply to do it, and reply doesn't
have to be exported. Spell Checker you can run anytime during replying
and you can run as many time as you want.
BTW, it isn't a big deal if it can be done before, after, or during, but
for information only.
P.S. OLX's spell checker works little different with other (third party
spell checker).

Yeah, I know... it would be hard...
I think I came up with a way to get Megamail to EASILY use the
Untag thingy with TLX,
COMMAND.COM /c \tlx\newzip.bat pkzip -ex
That would do I I think...
Feedback?
I haven't tried it yet...

I just tried Speed, it was good, but Mega is just better then
everything it seems!
I made a forward macro, still can't figure out CC....
That's all I want!
I agree that the databse readers are kinda hard to figure out.
Although, Robo wasn't too hard. Mega gave me mucho problemos.

Strange indeed. From what I understand, Parsons developed RM under
OS/2. Try sending a message to Dan in the Robocomm conference, or
calling his BBS direct. He probably can help, at least much more than
I can with OS/2. :-)
INAP: Under DV, PKZIP/UNZIP will cause a premature exit of batch
files and close the window running them despite the PIF setting. It
may be that this problem is PKZIP related. It may also be that Mr.
Parsons addressed this problem in DOS and Windows, but did not do so
for OS/2. I'm presuming that PKZIP is compatible with HPFS so that
the cause of exit is not an error.

Mike,
I was using BlueWave and then saw a lot of chatter about your program. I
called the BBS that was listed as the *official* distributor yesterday and got
a copy.
It's a great program, and I just wanted to say thanks.
As of this morning, MikeMayl is now traveling across that great wasteland I
live in known as New Jersey!
Thanks again.

I understand, Chau. And that is indeed much more convenient, that you

The only thing that is useful is if a reader lets you set up two
accounts for multiple users. If my husband wanted to read Email I'd
have to set him up with another reader (actually, if he could learn
Mega I'd probably be able to handle it with just another BBS, maybe
some switches would enable us to set him up with his "own" Mega
database instead of adding it to mine). But any other case should
be tossed out by the BBS mail door.

Like I have mentioned before that MegaRead acts more like an editor than
a front end program. Example at Reading mode, you can just hit a command

TED ain't bad... just a bit limited <hehe>. I went through
several mods of it way back when, and it wasn't really too bad
all dressed up. I'll grant you that SEDIT is light years ahead
of it, though...

Finally, found this conference.
Picked-up your MikeMayl program a couple of days ago. I really
like it. I find it easy to, setup, use, fiddle with. It has more
features than I'll use, but not too many more so that it feels bloated.
It lacks no features that I'm looking for. Price's low.
There is only one problem stopping me from removing SLMR (which I
registered when it was v1.05) from my hard drive for all time. You've
undoubtably heard-knew this already, but I'll go ahead and repeat it.
The program won't reconize conferances above 790 and "Fido: Deep Space
Nine." is 884 on one of the boards I call. So I can't read it with
MikeMayl.
Other than this one "flaw" you have done one h*ll of programing job,
I'd rate it at a ver 2.02 on my 3 version scale. (IE. it works like I'd
expect a version 2.02 of a program to work.) I'm impressed.

SS| How come with OLX-Td2 I sometimes run out of memory afterI've spent
| hours writing a reply and then LOSE it!!
Do you have swapping enabled? If not, this is your problem.
You can check this under the Configuration menu. Press Alt-N (or the
appropriate key if you've redefined it), select "General" and take a
look at the first option. If it's off, toggle it on by pressing the
space bar. You'll probably want the next option on too, so you'll swap
to EMS/XMS if there's enough room.
Once you have things the way you want them, hit F10 to save the change,
then exit and re-run the program.
