----- text -----
NetMail is a utility for reading network mail from the IBM side of a Novell network when using NetWare for the Macintosh and the Office Talk mail system (a shareware system available in the NOVA forum on CompuServe). It is capable of replying to mail ONLY IF your supervisor has given you rights to create and write to files in the mail directories of other users (this prevents you from reading their mail). If you do not have these rights, you should inform persons sending mail to you to indicate the name of the sender within the text of items sent, since this stack cannot determine the origin of mail.
Follow the directions below for use:
1] with the aid of your network supervisor, determine the folder (sub-directory) on your server where you mail resides;
2] select the "Network mail path..." button at the top of this card and CAREFULLY enter the path for the network mail system using the Macintosh convention (colons rather than back-slashes), for example:
SERVER_1:MAIL
Please note that this is the MAIN directory for the mail service, not the directory assigned to a specific person. Also, note that there is not a colon (:) following the last sub-directory (folder) name;
3] Click on the "Your mail folder..." button to enter the name of the sub-directory (folder) which is your personal mail area (the network supervisor can supply this);
4] Place this stack in a location where it can be accessed easily (usually in the same folder as Hypercard); and,
5] If your supervisor has given you rights in other persons mail areas as described above, set up the other users by selecting the "Set Network Users" button above. This will bring up two text entry areas for entering the user name and corresponding sub-directory for their mail. When entering this information, be absolutely certain that each entry (for both parameters) is on a separate line AND that the name and sub-directory entries are on the same lines (i.e., if you need to scroll one field to enter more information, scroll exactly the same number of lines in the other field, and enter the names and sub-directory information directly across from each other). Clicking on the "Enter User Names" or "Enter User ID's" buttons will close this area.
Daily use of the utility involves two steps:
1] after starting this stack, click on the "Get Mail" button (on the left side of this card) (this causes Hypercard to read AND DELETE your mail as you select each file shown);
[WARNING: Do NOT select the file called "LOGIN". While the system is designed to protect against deletion of this file, it's still not a good idea to select it.]
2] select the "View..." button below to read each item of mail.
The "Select" button will give you a list of the mail currently in the stack listed according to the subject rather than the sender. If you want to keep your mail here
(for storage), this listing facility will come in handy.
The "Kill" button on the individual mail cards will delete that mail from this stack (not from the server, since the mail was deleted at the time it was added to the stack).
At the bottom of each mail screen is a "Write/See Reply" button which will open a field in which you can reply to the item. Compose your reply in that area. If you have been given rights as previously mentioned (in other mail areas), you can then click on the "Send to:" button at the top of the screen in order to send the mail. Users will not be notified immediately of the mail they have received, but they will find it there when running the mail application.
(This has not been tested with all mail systems capable of running on the Novell network.) Please note that, when composing a reply, you must put a hard return (hit the return key) at the end of each line. Do NOT rely upon the word-wrapping within Hypercard.
The "Send..." button on the initial card will allow you to compose and send new mail to a user (if you have been granted the necessary rights to their mail directories and have entered the information described for "Set Network Users"). Selecting this button will produce a list of users from which to select your "target" for sending the mail. It will then ask you for the subject of your mail. After supplying this information, you will be brought to a new mail card. Here you can enter your message in the lower text entry field and proceed just as if you were writing a reply as described above. When you have finished composing your message, click on the "Send to" button. Office Talk will recognize this as new mail when that program is run by users on the PC side of the network.
NOTE: This stack is free. If you use it, I would appreciate E-mail on CompuServe notifying me of that fact and describing any problems you may have had. (E-mail address is shown in the lower right of this card.)
