- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. FleetStreet ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Welcome to
-
- FleetStreet 0.81 Beta
-
- FleetStreet is a FTS compatible message editor for OS/2 2.x PM. FleetStreet can
- handle *.MSG and Squish type message areas.
-
- Topics:
-
- o Design goals of FleetStreet
-
- o Limitations (yes, there are some)
-
- o Installation and configuration
-
- o Using FleetStreet
-
- o Registering FleetStreet
-
- o Future enhancements
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. Design goals ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- We had several design issues in mind while developing FleetStreet. Maybe you
- want to read about some of them.
-
- Why a PM editor?
- The Presentation Manager (tm) interface may be slower than the VIO
- interfae (but only when you use VIO in full screen). On the other
- hand, PM provides many advantages to the user. The clipboard is now
- fully usable (VIO clipboard is a kludge!), the user can select fonts
- and colors easily and isn't bound to a 80x25 (or similar) screen
- format. PM also gives us the ability to implement all the dialog
- boxes that make FleetStreet so easy to use.
-
- Integrated setup
- With other editors you may have struggled with a lot of ASCII
- configuration files with as many different keywords. If you are used
- to the various notebook settings dialogs of the workplace shell, you
- will not have difficulties setting up FleetStreet. You can change
- settings while FleetStreet is running and don't have to restart your
- editor to make the changes take effect.
-
- If you are in doubt about one setting, just press F1 or the HELP
- buttons around. There's no need to read a lengthy ASCII
- documentation.
-
- Support for Squish (tm)
- FleetStreet supports Squish in two ways: Firstly, it uses the squish
- API implemented in MSGAPI.DLL. Secondly, FleetStreet can read your
- Squish.Cfg configuration file.
-
- Ease of use
- Most PM applications are easy to use, but we've added to that.
- Generally speaking, if you've used the WPS you will know how to use
- FleetStreet. We have settings notebooks, popup menus, containers etc.
-
- All the features you ever need
- We've implemented a lot of features that we found to be useful in
- other editors, and some that we didn't find elsewhere.
-
- Power
- FleetStreet makes use of multiple threads, CUA'91 and 32 Bit
- processing.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.2. Limitations ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- There are some limitations of FleetStreet. Some of them are imposed by the
- Squish API, some by OS/2 and some by FleetStreet itself. We'd like to inform
- you about these.
-
- Edit window
- At the moment we use the MLE control of OS/2 for the editor window.
- The MLE control doesn't handle all the fonts and colors that are
- available with OS/2. In particular, it can use only bitmapped fonts
- (ie. Helv, Courier, Tms Rmn, System font) and only non-mixed colors.
-
- Squish API
- The squish API doesn't allow for messages that are longer than 16 KB.
- There is a maximum of 5200 messages per message area. There is no
- "direct" message attribute.
-
- If any of these limitations are removed in a newer version of Squish,
- we'll be prepared to it.
-
- Setup
- You may have a maximum of 50 user names and 50 network addresses.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.3. Installing FleetStreet ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- If you've started FleetStreet for the first time you have to configure the
- program.
-
- There are two things you have to look after:
-
- 1. Setting up general options,
-
- 2. Setting up message areas.
-
- If you like to change the outer appearance of FleetStreet you may change colors
- and fonts as well.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.3.1. Setting up general options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- FleetStreet needs to know some settings to operate properly. To enter these
- settings select "Setup Options" from the menu bar. The settings will be saved
- when you exit FleetStreet or when the system is shut down.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.3.2. Setting up message areas ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- There are two ways to add message areas to the area list:
-
- 1. Reading areas from the squish configuration file. Open the "Setup Options"
- dialog, go to the "Squish" page, activate "read SQUISH.CFG" and fill in the
- path and name of the configuration file. The area definition will be read
- and these areas will appear in the area list.
-
- 2. Adding private areas to the area list. Open the area list, press the minor
- mouse button (usually this is the right button), and select "Create
- another" from the popup menu. Fill in the fields of the settings notebook
- and close the dialog.
-
- To change settings for message areas, do the following:
-
- 1. Open the area list
-
- 2. Click on the area which settings you like to change, use the right mouse
- button for this
-
- 3. Select "Settings" from the popup menu
-
- 4. Change the area settings in the settings notebook
-
- 5. Close the dialog
-
- To edit the description of an area, do the following:
-
- 1. Open the area list
-
- 2. Hold down the ALT key and click on the apropriate area using the left mouse
- button.
-
- 3. Edit the description
-
- 4. To save changes click on another area using the left mouse button
-
- To delete a private area, do the following:
-
- 1. Open the area list
-
- 2. Click on the area you want to delete using the rigt mouse button
-
- 3. Select "Delete" from the popup menu.
-
- Areas that were read from the squish configuration file can not be deleted, but
- they may be hidden from the area list.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.3.3. Changing colors and fonts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- You won't find any menu item or dialog for changing colors or fonts of the main
- window of FleetStreet. This is because FleetStreet uses Workplace Shell objects
- to costumize its appearance.
-
- The color palette
- Open a color palette, drag a color to FleetStreet and drop it on the
- appropriate element in the window. To change the color of textual
- elements hold down the CTRL key while dropping. If you don't hold
- down CTRL the background color of the element will be changed.
-
- The color of the following elements will be saved:
-
- - message window (foreground and background)
- - window background (drop color above the speed buttons)
- - area title (foreground and background)
- - message numbers (foreground and background)
- - message dates (foreground and background)
- - message header (foreground and background)
- - menu bar (foreground and background)
- - status line (foreground and background)
- - status line border (hard to hit)
- - clock (foreground and background)
- - area list (foreground and background)
- - message list (foreground and background)
- - message thread list (foreground and background)
- - address indicator (foreground and background)
-
- The font palette
- Open a font palette, drag a font to FleetStreet and drop it on the
- appropriate element in the window.
-
- The font of the following elements will be saved:
-
- - message window
- - area title
- - message numbers
- - message dates
- - message header
- - menu bar
- - status line
- - clock
- - area list
- - message list
- - message thread list
- - "Change" button
- - address indicator
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.4. Using FleetStreet ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Select one of the following topics:
-
- o Entering Fidonet addresses
-
- o Writing messages
-
- o Changing messages
-
- o Crossposting messages
-
- o Using carbon copy lists
-
- o Using the message list
-
- o Using the thread list
-
- o Using message templates
-
- o Finding messages
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.4.1. Entering Fidonet addresses ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- When writing messages you must specify the network address of the recipient.
- This is usually done by entering the full 3-D or 4-D address.
-
- However, FleetStreet can assist you by completing uncomplete addresses. If you
- enter an uncomplete address, the missing components are automatically added
- using your own address as the default.
-
- The following examples illustrate the process. The default address
- 2:2490/2520.17 is assumed:

-
- The general rules are:
-
- 1. A single number is treated as "Net".
-
- 2. If the point number is not specified, it is set to "0".
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.4.2. Writing messages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- There are two different ways to add new messages to your message base:
-
- Writing new messages
- If you want to enter a new message, click on the button or press the
- INS key. The message window will be cleared and your own name and
- address will be inserted into the appropriate fields of the message
- header. You can now enter the name and address of the receipient (see
- "Entering Fidonet addresses") and write your message in the message
- window.
-
- After you've entered your message, click on the button or press
- CTRL-S. The message will then be saved to your message base. Click on
- the button or press ESC if you don't want to save your message.
-
- Replying to a message
- To reply to a message you've received, click on the button or press
- CTRL-R. You may either reply to the sender of the message (the usual
- case), or to the recepient. You may also place your reply in a
- different message area (usually a Netmail area.
-
- After editing your reply message, click on the button or press
- CTRL-S to save it. Click on the button or press ESC to discard your
- reply.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.4.3. Changing Messages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Messages can be changed after you've saved them. Press the button to switch to
- edit mode. Now you can re-edit your message. You can change the message text
- and the message header.
-
- To toggle the attributes of the message, press the Change button. A dialog
- window appears, where you can set or clear the message attributes.
-
- If you edit a message that was already sent or that is not not a local message,
- you will get a warning.
-
- Press the button to save your changes. If you want to discard the edited
- message, press the button.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.4.4. Crossposting messages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Crossposting a message means that the same message is saved in more than one
- area.
-
- You can activate crossposting by selecting Crosspost from the menu. This
- function is available when you are writing a message.
-
- The area list is opened and you can select the areas, where the message should
- be saved.
-
- Note: You don't have to select the current area in the list. The message is
- always saved in the current area. Just select the additional areas.
-
- When crossposting mode is active, a checkmark is displayed in front of
- Crosspost in the menu.
-
- You can deactivate crossposting mode by selecting Crosspost again. The
- checkmark will disappear again, indicating that you're in normal editing mode.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.4.5. Using Carbon Copy Lists ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Using a carbon copy list means that you're sending the same message to
- different recipients. Carbon copy lists can only be used for Netmail.
-
- Imagine the following example:
-
- You're compiling a newsletter that you're sending to a number of people on a
- regular basis. To perform this task with FleetStreet, you can create a carbon
- copy list named "Newsletter". Now you can add all the people who should receive
- the newsletter to the list.
-
- Now, when you want to send the letter via Netmail, compose your message as you
- would normally do it. But instead of entering a recipient, select Carbon copy
- from the menu. You can now select your carbon copy list "Newsletter" that
- you've configured before. The text "*** Newsletter ***' appears, indicating
- that you're using the list.
-
- When you're sending the next issue of your newsletter, you don't have to create
- a new carbon copy list. You can simply re-use the previous one.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.5. Registering FleetStreet ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This Beta version need not be registered.
-
- However, it can only be used for a limited amount of time. Verification of the
- registration code may be active for testing purposes, but that has no further
- meaning. All features in this version that are currently de-activated can not
- be activated with a code. They are simply not yet implemented.
-
- We will inform you about terms and conditions just before version 1.0.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.6. Future enhancements ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Some things that we have in mind for future versions:
-
- We will port it to MS Windows - NOT!
- It would cost us a lot of time and/or money to do a Windows port.
- Even if we did it, the Windows version wouldn't be as powerful and
- comfortable as the OS/2 version.
-
- Enhancements to the user interface
- We have several things in mind, but we like to hear from YOU, too.
-
- Other message base types
- At the moment Squish is the only OS/2 based mail processor. But if a
- different system is ever going to be as popular as Squish, we will be
- prepared to it.
-
-

-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.1. User settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- If you want to use FleetStreet you must have at least one user name and one
- address. The origin line is optional, but it's a good idea to have one.
-
- Your names and your addresses are shown in two lists. To add new names or new
- addresses, press the corresponding "Add" button. You are prompted for a new
- item.
-
- To delete a name or an address, select the item in the list and press the
- "Delete" button.
-
- To change a name or an address, select the item in the list and press the
- "Change" button.
-
- To make a name or an address the default, select the item in the list and press
- the "Default" button. If you create new message areas or read areas from the
- squish configuration file, the default name and default address will be
- selected as the initial name or address for that area.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.2. Squish options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- FleetStreet can read the squish configuration file, thus making it easier to
- provide consistency between your message base maintained by SQUISH and that
- maintained by FleetStreet.
-
- Echotoss.Log
- The Echotoss.Log file is a plain ASCII text file where all the
- message areas are listed, where you have entered mail. Squish and
- other utilities read this file to process only these areas (normally
- Squish processes all areas, which may take much longer). FleetStreet
- creates this file if necessary and writes the appropriate area names
- to it.
-
- If this option is turned off, FleetStreet does not write to the file.
-
- Lastread
- This is the offset into the lastread file for each message area. The
- number of the message that was last read is stored in in a lastread
- file (*.SQL files for Squish message areas). Each user of a BBS has
- his own offset, the sysop usually has offset 0. Some utility programs
- use an offset as well.
-
- If you don't understand the meaning of this setting it's best to
- leave it at 0.
-
- The current limit for this setting is 500, thus giving the sysop
- access to the lastread pointers of his first 500 users. If you really
- have a need for more users, feel free to drop us a note.
-
- Squish.Cfg
- If you want FleetStreet to read the squish configuration file
- automatically at startup, klick on "read SQUISH.CFG". Specify path
- and name of the file in the entryfield below, or press the "Locate"
- button to select the file via a file dialog.
-
- Caution: If you have already specified a file, you will loose the
- descriptions of the areas that were read from the old file. This will
- also happen when you read the old file for a second time. Private
- message areas (i.e. areas defined in FleetStreet only) will not be
- touched.
-
- If an error occures while reading the new file, you will get an error
- message and nothing will be lost.
-
- Note: You must have entered at least one user name to read the file.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Error reading SQUISH.CFG ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- An error occured while trying to read the squish configuration file. There are
- two causes for this error:
-
- 1. The file didn't exist or FleetStreet couldn't access it, maybe because it
- was already in use by another program, or
-
- 2. The file was read, but there is no area definition in it.
-
- Try again and select a valid configuration file.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Duplicate Areas ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- One or more areas that were read from the squish configuration file are already
- defined as private areas, i.e. they have the same area tag. Area tags must be
- unique in the area list.
-
- To solve the problem do one of the following:
-
- o Change the area tags of your private areas,
-
- o Edit the squish configuration file.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.3. Nicknames ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- With FleetStreet it is possible to define nicknames for users you often write
- to.
-
- To use these nicknames, just enter the nickname in the TO field of the message
- and press "Enter". The nickname will be replaced by the real name, and the
- address of the user will be entered automatically in the address field. If you
- defined a subject line for this nickname, it will be inserted in the subject
- field as well.
-
- To define a nickname, do the following:
-
- 1. Press the "Add" button,
- 2. Fill in the fields,
- 3. Press "OK".
-
- To change a nickname, do the following:
-
- 1. Select the nickname in the list,
- 2. Press the "Change" button or double click on the entry,
- 3. Do your changes,
- 4. Press "OK".
-
- To delete a nickname, do the following:
-
- 1. Select the nickname in the list,
- 2. Press the "Delete" button.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.3.1. Nickname ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Enter a new nickname or change an existing nickname.
-
- Nickname
- This is what you type to reference this nickname.
-
- Real name
- This is the name of the addressed user as you would usually use it.
-
- Address
- Address of the user. Use a 3D or 4D address.
-
- Subject
- Default subject line. Useful for pseudo-users like area managers.
- Leave this field blank if you don't want to have a subject line for
- this nickname.
-
- 1st line
- First line in message text. When this line contains a %?, you are
- prompted for additional text.
-
- This feature is intended to be used in conjunction with UUCP
- gateways. Consider the following example:
-
- Nickname: u
- Real name: UUCP
- Address: 1:234/567
- Subject: test
- First line: TO: %?"Enter UUCP address"
-
- Now, when you use the nickname "U", the UUCP gateway is addressed and
- you are prompted to enter the FQDA of the addressed user.
-
- You can use the tokens %? or %?"prompt text".
-
- Attributes
- Default message attributes. These are set automatically when you use
- the nickname.
-
- Press OK to confirm your changes. Press Cancel to abort editing.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Prompt ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- There is a %? token in the nickname attribute "first line". You are prompted to

- ^M New Line
-
- [...do you need more?]
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.5. Domains ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- FleetStreet can look up fidonet addresses of sysops by reading one or more
- compiled nodelists.
-
- Domains
- List of currently defined domains.
-
- Add
- Add a new domain to the list.
-
- Change
- Change the domain information for the selected domain.
-
- Delete
- Delete the selected domain.
-
- Nodelist
- Enable nodelist lookups. You may either disable lookups or enable
- lookups for Version 7 nodelists. Note: Version 6 nodelists are not
- supported.
-
- Modem types
- Press this button to define the modem types, that are saved in the
- nodelist.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.5.1. Domain ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- A domain has three attributes:
-
- Domain name
- Name of the domain, which must be unique.
-
- Sysop index file
- Index file of the compiled nodelist for this domain. This is usually
- SYSOP.NDX for your primary AKA. The full path and name of the file
- must be entered.
-
- Nodelist data file
- Data file of the compiled nodelist for this domain. This is usually
- NODEX.DAT for your primary AKA. The full path and name of the file
- must be entered.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.5.2. Modem types ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The compiled nodelist contains information about the modem of each node. This
- information is saved in a single byte.
-
- When you compile your nodelist, the nodelist compiler sets the bits of this
- field according to the modem flags that are in the distribution nodelist. With
- some compilers you can associate the bits with one or more flags.
-
- Refer to the documentation of your nodelist compiler for details.
-
- Example: When FastList (written by Alberto Pasquale) is configured with
-
- TypeDef HST 1
- TypeDef PEP 2
- TypeDef V32 4
- TypeDef V32B 8
- TypeDef MNP 16
- TypeDef V42 32
- TypeDef V42B 64
- TypeDef ISDNB 128
- TypeDef ISDNC 128
- TypeDef ISDNA 128
- TypeDef UISDNB 128
- TypeDef UISDNA 128
- TypeDef UISDNC 128
-
- set up FleetStreet with
-
- Bit 0: HST
- Bit 1: PEP
- Bit 2: V32
- Bit 3: V32b
- Bit 4: MNP
- Bit 5: V42
- Bit 6: V42b
- Bit 7: ISDN
-
- When looking up a node, the modem flags are displayed correctly.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Domain already defined ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- You have already defined a domain with this name. Domain names must be unique.

-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.6. Quote-O-Meter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Excessive qouting is considered annoying in Fidonet. The Quote-O-Meter of
- FleetStreet will help you avoiding flames because of too many quoted lines.
-
- When this function is turned on and your reply message contains more quoted
- lines than the warning level allows, FleetStreet will give you a warning
- message.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.7. Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- You may specify several options that influence the way FleetStreet operates.
-
- Startup Area
- Specifies whether FleetStreet opens a specific area when started, or
- whether the area is opened that was open when you last used
- FleetStreet.
-
- Tab size
- Number of whitespace charaters that are inserted into the message
- text when you press the TAB key while editing.
-
- Use ^aPID
- The ^aPID klugde line is used instead of the long tearline.
-
- Use tearline in netmail
- Tearline and origin line are used in netmail areas. When turned off,
- tearline and origin are only used in echomail areas.
-
- Area scan at startup
- The areas are scanned automatically when FleetStreet is started.
-
- Beep on personal mail
- FleetStreet makes noise when a message is displayed which is
- addressed to you.
-
- Ask for confirmation
- When you delete messages or make other significant changes,
- FleetStreet will ask you to confirm the changes.
-
- Don't use API for scanning
- When scanning the areas for new mail, FleetStreet doesn't use the
- Squish MsgAPI, but accesses the message base files directly. This is
- usually much faster, but may not work with versions of the API newer
- than the current one.
-
- This option only affects Squish style message areas.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.8. Thread list ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The thread list can be displayed in various modes:
-
- All Threads

- displayed.
-
- Threads with unread messages
- Only those threads, that contain at least one unread message, are
- displayed.
-
- Unread messages only
- Only unread messages are displayed. Message threads begin with the
- first unread message in the thread and end with the last unread
- message. If a thread of unread messages is interrupted by a read
- message, two threads will be displayed.
-
- In addition, you may specify whether the name of the sender of the message
- should be displayed or not.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.9. Exit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- When you exit FleetStreet, two different actions may be performed:
-
- Generate ERRORLEVEL
- FleetStreet generates exit codes that my be queried in batch file
- using ERRORLEVEL or Rexx programs using RC.
-
- The exit codes are:
-
- 0 Nothing special happened
-
- 1 You have entered new netmail only
-
- 2 You have entered new echomail only
-
- 3 You have entered new echomail and new netmail
-
- 255 An unrecoverable error occured
-
- Execute command line
- One of the three command lines are executed, depending on the
- conditions mentioned above.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.10. Register ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- After you've registered FleetStreet, enter your registration code and serial
- number here. FleetStreet will then run in registered mode.
-
- Registration code
- Registration code, that you've received. The code must be entered
- exactly in the same way, it must be exactly 40 letters long.
-
- Serial number
- Serial number, that you've received.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Invalid registration code ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The registration code and/or serial number is not valid. FleetStreet will still
- run in unregistered mode.
-
- If you've registered FleetStreet, check the code and serial number.
-
- If you've not registered FleetStreet, REGISTER!
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.11. Printer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- FleetStreet knows two ways of printing messages:
-
- Via a PM printer driver
- FleetStreet uses the currently active printer object and the driver
- associated to it when printing messages. This ensures that
- FleetStreet can print on every printer that has a driver, even if it
- can't print plain ASCII text (e.g. Postscript printers).
-
- Directly to a device
- FleetStreet sends the message in plain ASCII text to the device
- specified below. If you enter "PRN" as the device name, OS/2 prints
- the message on your printer with the default printer font. This is
- usually much faster than printing via a PM driver, but may not work
- with all types of printers.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2.12. Layout ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Show date arrived

- possible and will try to deliver the mail.
-
- Received
- The message is a personal message and has already been read by you.
-
- Sent
- The message has been sent to your uplink.
-
- File Attached
- The subject line specifies the name of a file that is to be sent to
- the recipient together with the message. Always combine this message
- attribute with the "Crash" attribute! Most systems will not route an

-
- Max. number of messages
- Maximum number of messages that can be stored in this area. When
- additional messages are tossed into this area or when you write new
- messages in this area, older messages are deleted automatically, if
- the limit represented by this value is hit.
-
- Number of skipped messages
- When deleting messages as described above, this nummer of messages
- (from the beginning of the message base) are skipped.
-
- Note: When you set this number to a value other than 0, you must set
- a maximum of messages as well.
-
- Number of days to keep messages
- Specifies the number of days that messages should be kept. Messages
- older than this number of days are deleted when you run SQPACK.
-
- When you set all the numbers to 0, Squish will not delete any message
- automatically.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Error reading parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Squish area parameters could not be read. This may be caused by one of the
- following reasons:
-
- o another process uses the file exclusively
-
- o you don't have access rights to the file
-
- o the file doesn't exist
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Error writing parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Squish area parameters could not be written. This may be caused by one of
- the following reasons:
-
- o another process uses the file exclusively
-
- o you don't have access rights to the file
-
- o the file doesn't exist
-
- o the file is write protected
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Incorrect parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- If you set "Number of skipped messages" to a value other than 0, you must set
- "Max. number of messages" to a non-null value as well.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.16. Renumber Area ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- *.MSG areas become more and more "fragmented" while being used. It's desireable
- from time to time to renumber the area. After being renumbered, the message
- files in the area start from 1 and are numbered contiguously.
-
- Start
- Start renumbering the area
-
- Cancel
- Don't renumber the area
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.17. Additional message info ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

- Note: Any word in the message text that contains exactly one '.' and has
- exactly three letters after the '.' is treated as a name of a requestable file.
- Because of this some names might be offered that aren't valid file names. We
- find that this is tolerable and better than being unable to request files that
- don't have an extension of "ZIP" or "ZOO" or the like.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.19. Reply list ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.21. Thread list ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Message threads are a number of messages about the same topic. One of these
- messages is the beginning of the thread. The others are replies to this message
- or replies to other replies.
-
- The thread list displays the messages which are beginnings of threads. A in
- front of the message indicates that there are replies to that message. To show
- these replies, press on the or press the + key. The plus sign changes to a
- indicating that the replies are showing. If a reply itself has replies, the
- plus sign is shown again.
-
- In the thread list setup you can specify, which threads area shown in the
- thread list. Unread messages are displayed with red text, read messages are
- displayed with the color you have assigned to the list using the color palette.
-
- The thread with the current message is always displayed, even if it doesn't
- contain unread mail.
-
- Press Expand to expand the branch down from the cursored message.
-
- Note: FleetStreet totally relies on the linkage information within the message
- base. If you are using Squish for message linking, the thread list will look
- quite unexciting. This is because Squish uses the subject line to link
- messages. We recommend SqLink or SqmLink for "real" message linking via the
- MSGID kludge. These will give you very nice thread trees in the thread list.
-
- See "Mark all messages" on how to mark all messages in the current area as
- "read".
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.21.1. Mark all messages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- If you haven't used FleetStreet for reading in a particular message base
- before, all messages are marked as "unread". Therefore the message thread list
- will show you all messages in that area. Because you may have read these
- messages before, this menu item provides a way to mark all the messages as
- "read", up to the current message. After you've done that, the thread list will
- show only messages that are "really" unread, i.e. messages that were added to
- this area after you've used this function.
-
- This function is usually only needed after you've switched to FleetStreet and
- want to bring "old" message areas up to date. FleetStreet will maintain the
- "read" flag automatically in the future.
-
- Press OK if you like to perform this function.
-
- Press CANCEL if you don't like to perform this function.
