┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ Option: PM PRIVATE MAIL ROBOT │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
┌─Explanation────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Have you ever asked yourself, how you can leave a message to all
the people, who are writing you, while you are absent and can't
answer your mail ?
Here is the answer. This fine option does a great job. It answers
your private mail even NetMail and informs somebody else, who is
perhaps thousands miles away, that you will answer his message
in two weeks. At the moment you are with some friends in holiday.
This Option has two parts.
1) The first part is a door for the users. The User can enter a message,
which will be written to everybody, who writes him a private message.
The User can specify a date range. Before the start day nothing
happens. After the start day the MCS answers the mail of the user.
Everybody, who writes to this User, will get one AnswerMsg - even,
if he writes him several messages. After the finish date the MCS will
delete the AnswerMessage and will send a report to the User. This
option doesn't set the Received Flag, so the User can continue
reading his mail like normally and this option hasn't answered
the mail already.
Here is an Example-Message:
┌───────────────────────────────────────┐
│ I am in Holiday. As soon as i am back,│
│ i will answer your message. │
│ │
│ Bye, JuLo. │
└───────────────────────────────────────┘
2) The second part of this Option checks for mail to users, who have
asked the MCS to answer their mail. You have to specify the MsgArea,
which should be scanned. NetMail Areas are supported.
And now i want to explain you the files, which are used by this
option.
■ The JLM?????.@PM Files are containing the messages.
■ The JLC?????.@PM Files are containing the MsgHeaders of the answered
Messages.
■ The JL{ROB}.@PM File handles the JLM*.@PM and JLC*.@PM Files.
JLUTIL reads this File, if somebody enters
a new Message, to detect, which number
it can use for the JLM*.@PM and JLC*.@PM
Files. This file is the ControlFile of
this option.
■ The NOANSWER.@JL File You can specify names like OZROBOT,NETMAIL SYSTEM
or whatever and /PM will not answer the mail from
the entries in this file.

└───────────────────────────────────────┘
■ You can setup the File, specified as 21= within JL.CNF. Read
