JetMail Configuration Setup Help
--------------------------------
[ Check with your sysop for the JetMail User's Guide for all the
details on using JetMail ]
<1> Transfer Protocol
You need to select a transfer protocol for JetMail to send
a .QWK mail packet to you, or for JetMail to receive a .REP
reply packet from you. JetMail uses the same transfer protocols
as those available in Spitfire's external protocols list.
<2> Compression Format
Multiple compression utilities may be supported by JetMail.
Select the format that you prefer to use with your offline mail
reader from the list supported by this BBS.
<3> Include Welcome Screen
You can optionally receive the welcome screen from your BBS in each
mail packet.
<4> Include Goodbye Screen
You can optionally receive the goodbye screen from your BBS.
<5> Include Messages From You
JetMail has an option to not download messages that you wrote.
Toggling this option to NO will keep your .QWK packets from picking
up messages that you wrote.
<6> Include New Bulletins
JetMail can let you download bulletins updated since the last time
you used JetMail. JetMail can scan for all new bulletins and put
them in your .QWK packet, or scan for bulletins updated in the
first ten bulletins (in case you have games bulletins which are
updated daily and you aren't interested in).
<7> Include New Files
JetMail can scan for new files in the Files Section and include it
in your .QWK mail packet. If you want to scan for new files, you
can scan all directories or just one directory (like the upload
directory; this will keep scanning time short).
<8> Maximum Number of Messages
This parameter limits the number of messages per .QWK packet. You
may want to set a limit to make sure your offline reader is able to
handle the mail packet, or to keep a .QWK size is manageable.
<9> Maximum Msgs Per Conference
This parameter limits the number of messages per conference. Some
.QWK mail readers can only read a maximum of 200 messages per
conference. If your .QWK reader is able to handle more messages,
feel free to adjust this parameter.
<A> Include .NDX files
Many .QWK mail readers use index files (denoted by the extension
.NDX) in the .QWK packet to read messages. Some readers (like SLMR)
are able to generate its own indexing, so you could toggle this
option to NO if you have such a reader. Generally, you can leave
this option to YES.
<B> Include User Information
Some .QWK mail readers support a User Statistics screen, which
contains information of your BBS activities (like how many downloads
you've made, last login, etc.). You may toggle this option to YES
to have JetMail generate this information in your .QWK. Your user
information will be included in the next (and subsequent) JetMail
sessions.
