The attribute-editing window.
-----------------------------
This window will be opened when you click Menu on a group in the summary
window, and select 'Edit…'.
It allows you to set and clear various flags concerning the messages, such as
the 'Marked' or 'Sent' status.
The window displays which messages you are about to edit; these are the ones
in the group upon which you clicked Menu.
You can further specify a part of that group by selecting a split-date and
whether they are before or after that date.
The two buttons 'Dated' and 'Received' refer to the two different dates stored
with the messages. The 'Dated'-date is the one from the real message, and
is usually set when the message is sent. The 'Received'-date is set when the
message is tossed by FidoMail.
If neither 'Before' nor 'After'is selected, the date will not be used (which
is much faster).
If one of them is selected, the action will depend on the 'Dated' and
'Received' buttons like this:
Dated Received Edited if:
Off Off either dated OR received before/after the split-date.
On Off dated before/after the split-date.
Off On received before/after the split-date.
On On dated AND received before/after the split-date.
So, if you want to edit all the messages received before 13 Dec 1993:
Select 'Received', deselect 'Dated', select 'Before', and set the date to
13 Dec 1993.
The rest of the window specifies what is to be done with the messages it finds.
By clicking the buttons, you can set and clear the various flags. If no buttons
are clicked for a flag, it will be preserved as it is.
See the 'WeedHelp' file for a description of what the flags mean.
And now... Examples:
-----------------------------
| All new mail in all areas |
| |
Function: Rescan the latest bunch | ( ) Dated ( ) Before |
of messages to the points. | ( ) Received ( ) After |
| |
Result: This will unset the 'Sent' | 01 Jan 1900, 00:00:00 |
attribute for all the new | |
messages. Messages are 'new' | Set Unset |
until the next toss. Clearing | Found ( ) ( ) |
the 'Sent' attribute makes | Read ( ) ( ) |
FidoMail think that the | Marked ( ) ( ) |
points haven't seen these | Sent ( ) (*) |
messages. | New ( ) ( ) |
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
| All mail in all areas |
| |
Function: Make everything received | ( ) Dated ( ) Before |
after the 10th of December | (*) Received (*) After |
appear 'New' and 'Unread'. | |
| 10 Dec 1993, 00:00:00 |
Result: This will restrict the editing | |
to messages after the 10th of | Set Unset |
December. These messages will | Found ( ) ( ) |
then have their 'Read' flag | Read ( ) (*) |
cleared, and their 'New' flag | Marked ( ) ( ) |
set. | Sent ( ) ( ) |
| New (*) ( ) |
-----------------------------
Still here? Ok, last example:
-----------------------------
| All marked mail in all |
| areas |
Function: Find marked mail, dated and | (*) Dated (*) Before |
received before the 5th of | (*) Received ( ) After |
December | |
| 05 Dec 1993, 00:00:00 |
Result: This will set the 'Found' flag | |
of the appropriate messages, | Set Unset |
thus merging them with the | Found (*) ( ) |
messages already found (if | Read ( ) ( ) |
any). | Marked ( ) ( ) |
| Sent ( ) ( ) |
| New ( ) ( ) |
