This command allows you to select which messages you want to read. Reading
can be done using a number of command-line options.
The READ sub-prompt appears as follows:
Starting from [1-2520], [H]elp, [N]ew mail, [S]earch, [U]nread personal,
or [ENTER] to quit?
Each option is explained below:
[1..2520] - Allows you to enter a beginning message number from the message
range available. Entering a number begins reading at that
message and continues in a direction specified by the
[D]irection selection.
[N]ew mail - Selecting this option displays the following sub-prompt:
Read mail in [C]urrent, [A]ll, or [S]elected conference(s)? [S]
[C]urrent - Displays all previously unread messages in the currently
joined conference.
[A]ll - Displays all previously unread messages in all of the
conferences available based upon your security level.
[S]elected - Similar to [A]ll option except this will display all
unread messages based upon conferences selected by the
[U]pdate Conferences Scan/Read function found on the
Message Menu.
[S]earch - Selecting this option displays the following sub-prompt:
[F]rom : <ALL>
[T]o : <ALL>
S[u]bject : <ALL>
Msg [B]ody : <ALL>
[N]umber : <ALL>
[D]irection : Forward
[C]onference : Selected
Search command [F T U N D B C], [H]elp, [S]tart, [ENTER] to Quit? [ ]
[F]rom - Select a username addressed [F]rom:
[T]o - Select a username addressed [T]o:
S[u]bject - Searches on a specific Subject line string.
Msg [B]ody - Select keywords in the message body to search for.
Example: entering '386' will cause a search for all
occurances of that string in all messages based upon
overall search criteria.
[N]umber - Selects the starting message number to begin the search.
[D]irection - This is a toggle between forward and backward search
direction. Forward is searching by incrementing the
message count by one, and backward just the opposite.
[C]onference - Selecting this option displays the following sub-prompt:
Scan [C]urrent, [S]elected, [A]ll conference(s)? [ ]
[C]urrent - Displays all previously unread messages in the currently
selected conference.
[A]ll - Displays all previously unread messages in all of the
conferences available based upon your security level.
[S]elected - Similar to [A]ll option except this will display all
unread messages based upon conferences selected by the
[U]pdate Conferences Scan/Read function found on the
Message Menu.
[U]nread personal - Reads all messages that are addressed TO you, and have
not been read previously. This command would be used to read
only mail addressed to you that is new, and is often used to
read personal mail at every logon.
[H]elp - Displays this Help screen.
