    What is RARcv? How do I use it? (etc)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    RARcv is very probably, unique.  It carries out quite a simple task that
    is  desperately  needed  by many people.  What it does is,   scans  your
    message base and sets the RECEIVED flag on messages to certain users  in
    certain areas, so it won't be listed with the Check for Mail option. The
    main  use for this is to stop sysops in FidoNet and other mail  networks
    from receiving echomail on bulletin boards other than their own.  As you
    can select the message areas to run RARcv on, you can disable processing
    on  local message areas,  so the only messages listed are those in local
    areas.

    It is probably easier to explain with an example.  If you use echomail a
    lot and call another bulletin board that doesn't use RARcv, you may well
    have  to wade through a mountain of echomail messages before getting  to
    any  local messages waiting for me.  Most people can't be bothered to do
    this, and decide to not read messages, which may have been important. If
    RARcv  was  being  used, you wouldn't have to go  through  the  echomail
    messages,   instead  you'll just get the local messages.  If  you  don't
    understand exactly what I mean, ask someone who is running the program.

    You  should  copy  the  .EXE  and .IDX  files  into  your  message  base
    directory,  and create a small text file, RARCV.DAT,  which is a list of
    the message board numbers to be processed with RARCV.  Run RARCV with  a
    command line parameter of whichever flag you use for RARCV,  ie A7.  So,
    if a user has flag A7 set and you run RARCV A7,  then processing will be
    enabled for messages addressed to that user.

    You  can put a question in your new-user questionnaire that asks whether
    to  run RARcv for that user,  and it's possible to have a command in the
    utilities  menu to toggle the setting.  You should have two options with
    the same letter to execute them, the FIRST having the flag you are using
    set,  and running the questionnaire to turn off the flag, and the SECOND
    having no flags set,  and running the questionnaire to turn on the flag.
    The sample files RECON.Q-A and RECOFF.Q-A show you how to implement  the
    questionnaire commands.
