[About The Guide]
4.4.8 Manager
The managers are used to define events, session level
security, file protection (for file requests) and to define
your various message folders.
All managers require that the SYSTEM path has been defined
since they store their data files (EVENT.FD, PASSWORD.FD,
REQUEST.FD and FOLDER.FD) in that directory.
4.4.9 Event Manager
Events are discussed in a separate section.
4.4.10 Folder Manager
Folders are used to define different areas (directories, or
boards for the Hudson Message Base) so that you can use the
Editor (FM) to read and write messages in those areas. The
Editor only knows about one folder by default. It is defined
in the Filenames section of FDSETUP (described earlier) and
is referred to as the NetMail folder.
The folder manager has two modes. The first is the view mode,
which is self explanatory. The second mode is the edit/create
mode. It will now be described.
Status The status and type of the folder.
Origin The default origin line to use. This is only
used for EchoMail-type folders with the Echo
info status enabled. Origin lines are used to
identify the origin of a message in EchoMail
conferences. This is required because
echomail is not a point to point environment,
like a telephone conversation or NetMail
exchange.
EchoMail conferences are usually widespread
and can have an unlimited number of
participating systems.
Title The title appearing in the folder list when
you select a new active folder in the Editor
(FM).
Board/Path Depending on the type of the folder, this is
either the Hudson Message Base board number
or the DOS path (directory) where the
messages for this folder should be stored.
Users Defines which users should have access to
this folder. If a user does not have access
to a folder, it will not show up on his/her
list of available folders.
Password Defines whether or not access to the folder
is protected by a password. You can allow
users to access a folder, and the password
protect it.
Use AKA Defines which address (AKA) the Editor should
use for the folder. This is only important
for EchoMail-type folders with the Echo info
status enabled. The address is a part of the
origin line.
Folder status
Restricted If enabled, users can only read Private
messages addressed to their username. Public
messages are not affected by this.
Echo info Whether or not an origin line should be
appended to newly created messages. See
Origin (previous page) for more information.
Export OK See Netmail.Export OK described earlier.
Echomail Defines the folder as an EchoMail folder (as
opposed to a Local or NetMail-type folder).
MsgBase Specifies that the folder is of the Hudson
Message Base type, rather than a directory
with .MSG message files. The Hudson Message
Base (HMB) is used by several BBS packages,
such as RemoteAccess.
NetMail Defines the folder as NetMail-type folder (as
opposed to an EchoMail or Local-type folder).
This enabled nodelist lookups, carbon copies,
etc.
This is not available in the noncommercial
version.
Local Defines the folder as a Local folder (as
opposed to an EchoMail or NetMail-type
folder). This is usually used to access local
BBS message areas.
Translate Enables the translation tables for the
folder. They can be toggled on/off from
within the folder.
Private Specifies that the Private status should be
allowed (and the default) for messages
created in the folder. This should NOT be
used in EchoMail folders unless the EchoMail
conference explicitly allows this.
Read-only See Netmail.Read-only described earlier.
