Visual configuration window

This window is used to configure message appearance. The following options are available in this window:

Color Quote
Toggles color quoting. If color quoting is on (the gadget has a checkmark), quoted lines appear in a different color. This option is also used by the editor.
Double Quote
Toggles double color quoting. If double color quoting is on and the Color Quote option is ON (the gadgets has a checkmark), two different colors are used for quoting:

>>This is a line in one color
>This is a line in another color

This option is also be used by the editor.

ANSI Support
Toggles ANSI Support. If on, all messages that include ANSI sequences are shown in full ANSI color. Note: To show ansi bulletins and messages with their true ANSI colors, you must be running on a 16 colors (or more) screen under OS 3.0 or higher.
Style Tags
Toggles Style Tags support when reading messages. Style Tags is a way to "mark" single words and is only available if ANSI Support is on. Here are some examples:

  *GREAT*       -  The word "GREAT" is shown in Bold

  _GREAT_       -  The word "GREAT" is shown in Underlined

  /GREAT/       -  The word "GREAT" is shown in Italic

  #GREAT#       -  The word "GREAT" is shown in Complement.

Style tags may be combined; for example:

  *_GREAT_*     -  The word "GREAT" is shown in Bold and 
                   Underlined.
But this won't work:

  *_GREAT*_

Starting from THOR 2.3, several words can also be styled, like this:

/This is an italic text/
_This is an underscored text_

Show Pictures
Manually
Attached pictures can only be viewed by manually selecting it using the icon in the listview.
Auto Internal
Attached pictures will be shown inline automatically.
Auto External
Attached pictures will be shown automatically using the external viewer defined for pictures. See section MIME support in THOR.
No Links
Selecting this option will make THOR not search for any http:, ftp: etc. links in the message text. If speed is your preference, and you're not interested in the power clickable links gives you, you should select this option to disable all link detection.
Link Type
Button
Links will appear as buttons in the message listview with this option.
3D Text
Links will appear as white text with a black dropshadow in the message listview with this option.
Underscore
Links will appear in a in a separate colour with underscored text, as seem in WWW browsers.
HTTP Program
This is the program or ARexx script that will be started when someone clicks on a http: link. The only argument given to the program/script will be the url clicked on. IBrowse, Voyager and AWeb has been tested to work directly. Default entry is the http.thor ARexx script.
HTTP Mode
Run ARexx script
Execute the ARexx script in HTTP Program passing in the URL as the first argument.
Run program
Run the program in HTTP Program passing in the URL as the first argument.
FTP Program
This is the program that will be started when someone clicks on a ftp: link. The only argument given to the program/script will be the url clicked on. AmiTCP has been tested to work directly. Note that even if you use the internal ftp in THOR, you should configure a ftp program that will be used on ftp:// URLs that only contain a directory and not a filename. FTP can be configured to use external (the program you've defined here) or the internal ftp support.
