8.2 Mail queue <Alt-B>
The mail queue function allows you to modify the status of one or
more mail packets, temporarily change the destination of mail
packets, and to unpack one or more packets.
<F1>
Priority Sets priority status on all selected packets.
Packets with priority status are always processed
before packets with crash or normal status.
<F2>
<Enter>
Verbose Shows more information about the highlighted mail
packet such as attached files, estimated transfer
time, etc. You can not use this function if the
destination system is unlisted (does not exist).
<F3>
Crash Sets crash status on all selected packets.
<F4>
Hold Sets hold status on all selected packets. Packets
with hold status will never be processed by FD
unless the destination system calls in to pickup
mail.
<F5>
Select all Selects all packets.
<F6>
Destination Changes the destination of all selected packets.
When FD processes the mail queue, it will treat
all active (non-sent and non-held) packets as
individual packets, including two or more
different packets destined for the same system.
If a connection is made (whether the destination
system calls you or your system calls it),
however, all packets destined for that system
will be sent.
<F7>
Unpack Discards all selected packets (note: NOT MAIL)
from the queue.
<F8>
Clear status Sets normal status on all selected packets.
<F9>
Clear busy retries
Sets the dial attempts for all selected packets
to zero.
<Esc>
Exit Returns you to FD.
<Space>
Select Selects the currently highlighted packet.
