Welcome to OLMS 2.51, a powerful new mail door that allows you, the user,
to perform many actions through control messages.
These control messages are created in your mail reader just like sending
any normal message, except the person you address it to is "OLMS". The
subject of the message is the action you wish it to take.
Here are a list of the actions you can perform...
ADD - Joins the conference that the
message was written in
DROP - Drops the conference that the
message was written in
RESET - Resets the message pointer in
the conference that the message
was written in
RESET number - Number of messages back to reset
the pointer to in the area that the
message was posted
KEYWORD keyword word - Adds a keyword to the user keywords
listing
FILTER filter word - Adds a filter to the user filter
listing
TWIT twit name - Adds a twit name to the user twit
listing
KEYWORD -keyword word - Removes a keyword from the user
keyword listing
FILTER -filter word - Removes a filter from the user
filter listing
TWIT -twit name - Removes a twit from the user
twit name listing
REQUEST filename - Requests a file from your FDB
REQUEST conf msgnum - Requests the files attached
to msgnum in conf
REQUEST msgnum - Requests the files attached
to msgnum in the current conf
So, for an example...
From: PETE ROCCA
To: OLMS
Subj: DROP 134
Would drop area 134 from your area configuration when the message
was uploaded to the system.
Another example...
From: PETE ROCCA
To: OLMS
Subj: REQUEST GOODGAME.ZIP
Would request the file GOODGAME.ZIP from the BBS when you uploaded
your replies.
If you are using the BlueWave format, then most likely your mail
reader will provide other ways to perform the same actions, but
even if it does, you can always use this method if you prefer.
One other thing that OLMS allows you to do, is enter netmail in your
offline reader, even in the QWK format. This can be done simply by
placing an at symbol (@) before the fidonet style address you wish
to send netmail to.
For example, if you wanted to send a message to 1:2401/305, you
would post your message like this...
From: PETE ROCCA
To: BOB SMITH
Subj: @1:2401/305
...it's as simple as that!
I hope that you enjoy this new mail door, and if you have any
questions, your Sysop will probably be more than happy to help you
out.
Good luck, and happy mailing!
