[About The Guide]
Type : 23
Name : Read messages
Optional Data : <Message area #> or /M
Initiates the message reading routines. Checks that the user
has read access to the message area first. The user may
select several different scan modes. These include forward,
reverse, new messages, marked messages, individual message,
or a selected scan according to the "To:", "From:" or
"Subject" fields. Online help is also available from this
hard-coded menu in the form of a text file. Put the message
area number on the optional data field, or 0 to select
"combined" mode (see function type 28 for more on this
feature). If you put a "/M" in the optional data field in
place of the area number, RemoteAccess will automatically
substitute the currently selected template message area into
the data field. See MENU TEMPLATES for more on this. The
message area number refers to number assigned to the desired
area in RACONFIG.
The menu bar at the end of each message provides the
following functions:
[-] : Read previous reply
[+] : Read next reply
[A] : Redisplay message again
[F] : Download files that are attached to the message
[N] : Go to the next message
[L] : Go back to the previous message
[R] : Post a reply to the current message
[E] : Enter a new message in the current area
[D] : Delete the displayed message (check the "delete msg"
menu function for more information)
[S] : Stop reading messages
The following options are available only to users who have
sysop access to the message area:
[!] : Display kludge lines normally hidden
[*] : Edit the current message's attributes
[X] : Export message to a file or the printer
[/] : Forward message to another user in any area
[=] : Mark message as unreceived and go to the next message
[U] : Modify the security level of the user who posted the
currently displayed message, provided the user is
listed in the userfile. Great for "on the fly" user
verification! {+} Only available in registered
version.
