-
- The Address Book can contain a list of email addresses, each with a
- more easily remembered name.
-
- The Name can be used in the To, Cc, Bcc, and Reply-To fields of the
- Write Mail window. When the mail message is posted, these Names are
- translated to the corresponding email addresses. An error is
- flagged if a Name is not recognised.
-
-
- Viewing the Address Book
- ========================
-
- The contents of the Address Book can be shown by either:
- 1. Selecting the "Address Book" option from the Pluto icon bar icon.
- 2. Pressing F7 in the Write Mail window.
- 3. Selecting "Addr Book" from the Write Mail window menu.
-
- The Address Book menu allows the Address Book to be sorted by either:
- Name - the full name.
- Last Name - the surname, or last word of the name.
- Address - the email address.
- Colour - (see below).
-
-
- Adding to the Address Book
- ==========================
-
- The email address of the sender of the currently displayed article
- in the Article Viewer can be added to the Address Book by pressing
- F7 in the Article Viewer window.
-
- Entries can also be added to the Address Book by clicking the Add
- button (Plus Sign icon) on the Address Book button
- bar.
-
-
- Using the Address Book
- ======================
-
- Click with the Menu button over the To, Cc, Bcc, or Reply-To fields
- of the Write Mail window.
-
- This brings up the Address Book. Click on an entry from the Address
- Book, and it will be added to the field in the Write Mail window.
-
-
- Colours
- =======
-
- Each entry in the Address Book is shown with a coloured indicator by
- it. These can be used to distinguish different categories of
- addresses. By default, the Grey colour is used, but a different
- colour can be selected by clicking the appropriate coloured button
- in the Address Entry edit dialogue.
-
-
- Importing Address Book from Voyager
- ===================================
-
- If you already have an address book set up in Voyager, you can
- transfer its contents into Pluto by using the !GetAdrLis application
- which can be found on the Argo ftp site (under ArgoRelated).
-
- This produces a CSV file from Voyager's address book. To add this to
- Pluto's address book, drop the CSV file which !GetAdrLis produces
- (which is called EmailLists.Addresses), onto Pluto's Address Book
- window.
-
- If there is a name already in Pluto's address book which is the same
- as a name from the Voyager address book, it will not be overwritten
- by the Voyager one.
-
- !GetAdrLis also extracts distribution lists (mail lists) from
- Voyager. These can be edited manually (see below) to produce Pluto
- Distribution Lists.
-
-
- Importing Hotlist from the ANT Suite
- ====================================
-
- Drop the ANT Hotlist file (filetype HTML) onto Pluto's Address Book
- window. Any email addresses (mailto: URL's) in the Hotlist will be
- added to the address book.
-
-
- Importing Address Book from Marcel (ANT Suite)
- ==============================================
-
- Drop the Marcel address book file (UserDir.!MarcelDir.Files.aliases)
- onto Pluto's Address Book window.
