                  Welcome to MAIL MANAGER for RBBS-PC!

MAIN MENU commands are single letter "Turbo-Keys" (don't press [ENTER]
afterwards), and are as follows:

   C - Configure.

       Permits you to tailor Mail Manager's operation to suit your
       preferences.  Options available are:

       A) Select the conferences from which you would like to extract
          messages.

          Please note that you must first J)oin a conference from the
          BBS before you can extract mail from it via this door.

       B) Format of downloaded mail packets (Text or QWK).

          Set to TEXT if you want to use Mail Manager as a simple
          "extract and download" system (all messages in a single
          continuous ASCII file).

          Set to QWK if you want to read and reply offline using a
          QWK-compatible mail reader like SLMR.

       C) Do you want messages addressed to "ALL" marked as personal in
          your QWK packets?

          If set to "Y", Mail Manager will add messages addressed to
          "ALL" to your QWK packet personal index.

       D) Do you want to extract ONLY your personal mail?

          If set to "Y", Mail Manager will not extract a message unless
          it is addressed to you.  (Will also extract messages to "ALL"
          if you have option C set to "Y".)

       E) Do you want to extract messages written by you?

          If set to "NO", Mail Manager will not include messages from
          you in your packet.

       F) Do you want to abort the download if no new messages are
          found?

          You might not want to do this if you would still like to
          receive new file listings or updated system news or bulletins.

       G) Do you want to have updated bulletins included in your packet?

          If set to "Y" all bulletins newer than your previous logon
          date for this BBS will be included in your mail packet.

          If set to "N", any updated bulletins which the sysop has
          designated as mandatory will still be included.

       H) Do you want new file listings included in your packet?

          If you select this option, a listing of newly-uploaded files
          will be included in your mail packet.

          This option may not be operational on all systems.

       I) Do you want to confirm you wish to receive the packet prior
          to the actual download?

       J) Which type of file compression do you want to use on your mail
          packet?

          You can choose from the file compression utilities offered by
          your sysop (ZIP, ARC, etc.)

       K) Which file tranfer protocol do you wish to use?

          Choose from the protcols offered by your sysop (Xmodem,
          Zmodem, etc.)

       L) Do you want Mail Manager to tell RBBS-PC that you've read the
          mail that you download from this door?

          If this is set to NO, both RBBS and Mail Manager will think
          that you haven't read the messages that you've downloaded.
          (Mail Manager will extract them again your next time in).

       When you are done configuring, you'll be asked to save your
       current choices.  You MUST answer yes if you want your changes to
       be saved for subsequent visits to the Mail Manager door.

   D - Download new mail.

       Will find and extract all new mail from your selected conferences,
       in the format that you told Mail Manager to use (Text or QWK).

       Mail Manager will then compress the file(s) using your selected
       compression utility.

       Unless your file protocol is set to N)one, Mail Manager will then
       send you the mail packet.  If your default protocol is set to N)one,
       you'll be asked for the transfer protocol of your choice.  If you
       choose "N", the file will not be sent to you, and you'll be
       returned to the main menu.  Otherwise Mail Manager will do its best to
       send a compressed version of the mail to you via your selected
       choice.

   E - Exit after download.

       Same as Download (above), except automatically exits back to
       the main bulletin board when finished.  
       
   Q - Quit (return to BBS).

       This one should be pretty self-explanatory.  May also be
       activated by pressing G.

   H - (Or '?') Display this help file.

       ... and that's exactly what it does. :-)

   M - Message number (lowest) to extract in each conference.
 
       Mail Manager will normally download mail based on the last message
       that you've read in each conference.  Since you can read mail both
       online AND offline, and have the option of telling Mail Manager NOT
       to update your last message read markers, you might want to use
       this option to reset them to what you want. 
 
       Requirement for using this option:
 
           - You must have already joined the conference from the main
             board. (As with all conferences that you manipulate via
             this door).

       You may set this by entering a specific message number, an
       increment such as +50 or -25, or by just pressing <Enter> for
       no change.

       If you get an error while changing your message markers, try going
       back through the C)onfigure option, saving your settings, and try
       again.

   U - Upload your replies.

       Works with QWK-compatible mail reader/repliers only. Your uploaded
       file is expected to be compatible with the .REP format used by
       popular mail readers such as SLMR.  Mail Manager will look for the
       REP packet after the upload and attempt to place your replies into
       the proper message bases.
 
       If your default protocol is set to N)one, you'll be asked for the
       protocol that you wish to use.  If you select N)one, you'll be
       returned to the main menu.

   W - Who's online?
 
       Displays a list of who's online to all nodes of this RBBS-PC.
       (Much like RBBS's command of the same name).

   X - Expert toggle.
 
       Turns the main menu on or off.  (Much like RBBS's command of the
       same name).
 
                                                   - The Management
