Global message options

Editor
This cycle gadget may be either set to "Internal", in which case the internal editor is used, or "External" which will activate the string gadget where you can type in the name and command line options to the external editor of your choice. Note that if you use an external editor that can open on a public screen, in is suggested that you use THOR's public screen. It has the name "Thor.n", where n is 1 if you are running one copy of THOR. The following codes can be used on the command line for the external editor definition and will be replaced with the appropriate data by THOR: %P - pubscreen name Note that this code will be at the end of the line passed to the editor.
Tab Size
This is the TAB size used in the internal editor and in the message window.
Auto Next Msg
This flag can be set if you want to go directly to the next message when you have replied to the current one.
No "Next Conf?" Requester
This flag can be set if you don't want a window to pop up when you are finished reading the messages in a conference. THOR will instead automatically proceed to the next conference.
Auto Show First Message
If this option is selected, THOR will automatically show the first message of a conference when you enter it. If this is not selected, you will have to proceed to the "next" message to get THOR to show you the first in a conference.
Delayed Msg Unmark
When this option is selected, THOR will not mark the message you read as read until you proceed to the next message.
PGP Command
This is the full path and name of the PGP command you want to use when encrypting messages. If nothing is entered here, THOR will use the path defined in the env-variable PGPPATH (if available). Please refer to the PGP documentation for further information.
PGP SignID
This is the signature ID you want to use when PGP signing messages. "*" is the default and will use the first item in your secret key ring (which usually only contain one secret key: yours). Please refer to the PGP documentation for further information.
Reply String
This string will be added on top of messages when you reply. I may contain several codes that THOR will replace with various information:
  %S        -   Subject
  %A        -   Sender address
  %N        -   Sender name
  %F        -   Sender first name
  %L        -   Sender last name
  %R        -   Reciever address
  %E        -   Receiver name
  %C        -   Conference
  %I        -   MsgID
  %O        -   Original messagenr on remote system
  %D        -   Date
NOTE: Not all fields are available on all systems. If a field is not available, it will be left empty. A cycle gadget is available that can be used to tell THOR when to add a reply string:
Don't use
Don't use any reply string on this system at all.
Only if moved
The reply string will only be used if the message is not replied to in the same conference or to the same user.
Always
The reply string will always be used when making a reply.
Tag file
This is the tag file. A tag is a random joke or a cookie added at the end of messages you write. The file must have one tag on each line. If you want to use multiline tags, this can be done by using backslash n (\n) to separate lines in the tag. The field can be left empty, in which case no tag will be used. A cycle gadget lets you choose not to use a tag file at all or use the tag file you define here.
Signature
This is the global signature that is appended at the end of the message file before it is imported into the editor (and in front of any taglines). In a multi-line signature each line can be separated with a "\n" (backslash n). There are 3 methods available to add a signature:
String
The contents of the signature string gadget will contain the string to be imported into the message.
File
The contents of the signature string gadget is a file name of a text file that will be imported into the message.
Command
The contents of the signature string gadgets is a shell command that will receive arguments with the template "BBSNAME/K,CONFNAME/K" when run and must write the output to stdout.
A cycle gadget lets you choose to don't use a signature on at all or use the signature you define here.
