Personal Mail in General Conferences
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you choose not to have a Personal mail conference then
Power-QWK offers you the choice of reading Personal mail either
in order of arrival, intermixed with Public mail, or on its own
either altogether when you first select Messages from the Topics
Menu or conference-by-conference as each conference is selected
from the Conference Selection Menu.
If however you choose to have a Personal mail conference then
you will normally read your Personal mail by entering that
conference. This means that, potentially, you will read Personal
messages twice, first in the Personal conference then again in
the general conferences.
If you ask for Personal messages to be marked as read in general
conferences then you will only read them once by default, in the
Personal conference. This has the side-effect that if a Personal
message forms part of a conversational thread which includes
Public messages then, when you read the general conference, you
will see only the Public messages and 'lose the thread' unless
you switch Personal marking off again.
Marking of Personal messages in general conferences can be toggled
on and off within the Messages topic by pressing the + (plus) and
- (minus) keys whenever there is a message on the screen.
