Mark window

This window is used for marking a message or a range of messages in different ways. Note: All operations that require a message number or a range of messages numbers, will need the internal message number from the message database, and not any number that the message(s) might have on the remote system. The mark operations will only apply to the current conference. The following options are available in this window, with the option's shortcut enclosed in [] brackets:

[ENTER] Mark current message as unread
Will simply mark the current message as unread. The shortcut 'M' (shift-m) can be used directly from the Main window and will do the same without opening this window. See section Message reading and writing.
[S] Set 'last message read' pointer
Will ask you for a message number in the current conference. All messages from (and including) the message number given will be marked as unread.
[#] Mark message with given number as unread
Will mark the message with the given number as unread.
[D] Mark messages from given date as unread
Will mark all messages that was written on and after the given date as unread. The format of the date is DD-MM-YY, and the operation will not be executed if the date given is in a unknown format.
[G] Mark a group of messages as unread
This option will ask for a range of message, and will mark all messages within this range as unread.
[T] Mark messages in this thread as unread
Will make the current thread of messages a unread. Please note that this option, as all other thread functions, requires that thread information is available on the system you are reading messages on.
[U] Mark messages in this thread as read
Will make the current thread of messages a read. Please note that this option, as all other thread functions, requires that thread information is available on the system you are reading messages on.
[B] Mark messages with this subject as read
Will mark unread messages in the current conference with the same subject as the current message as read.
[O] Mark unread msgs not from or to you as read
This options will mark all unread messages which is not to or from you as read.
[R] Find and mark messages to you as unread
Will ask for a "from" and "to" message number. All messages in the current conference within the given range that is addressed to you will be marked as unread.
[Z] Mark unread msgs from current author as read
All unread messages from the current author of the current message will be marked as read. Messages addressed to you will NOT be marked as read. A temporary local "kill" without the risk of losing messages addressed to you. Use it wisely.. :-)
[L] Mark messages from login state as unread
Will set the message database to the unread state it was when you entered the system in the current session. This function is useful if you want to browse through the unread messages, or you regret having used CatchUp etc.
[C] Mark msgs from conf. login state as unread
Will set the message database for the current conference to the unread state it was when you entered the system in the current session. This function is useful if you want to browse through the unread messages, but still wants to read them again later for doing a reply etc.
Cancel
Will abort and close the Mark window.
Ok
Will start the marking of messages, with the currently selected mark option. If you use the shortcut from the keyboard for an operation, you will not have to press Ok.
