@X0AYou are a New User of the MarkMail Door!!
@X0B────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────@X0A
Welcome! Since you're new you will need to properly configure MarkMail
to fit your needs. The commands are very simple to follow and you will
have no problem understanding them. If you need any help at all, ask.
@X0F M A R K M A I L F E A T U R E S
@X0B ====================================@X0F
This is a listing of features available with MarkMail that make it one
of the Best mail systems available. This door was created to overcome
the shortcomings of other QWK systems, it was also designed with speed
of operation in mind.
@X0F Offline Configuration Changes
@X0B -------------------------------@X0F
The MarkMail door was designed with a philosophy of 'automated' online
operations so almost all of the configuration items can be manipulated
using an offline reader. The method of achieving this is via a message
sent to 'MARKMAIL'. The following explains these commands and examples.
@X0FADD a Conference@X0B
You can add a conference offline by sending a message to MarkMail with
a subject of ADD. You can also update your last message read pointers
with this command. Example:
@X0DTO: MARKMAIL
@X0DSUBJECT: ADD <Number>
@X0BIf the number is a 'positive' number, that number will become your new
last message read pointer. If the number is a 'negative' number, that
number will be subtracted from the high message number and that will
become your last message read pointer. But if the number is ommited,
nothing will be done to your last message read pointer.
Also a conference can be added for [Y]our mail in the same manner as
for [A]ll mail:
@X0DTO: MARKMAIL
@X0DSUBJECT: YOURS -20
@X0BAdd for [Y]ours with pointers set back 20 from the top.
@X0FLIMIT number of messages@X0B
To configure yourself for a 300K Limit on the size of your QWK packet.
@X0DTO: MARKMAIL
@X0DSUBJECT: LIMIT 300
@X0FDROP a Conference@X0B
You can drop conferences offline by sending a message to MarkMail with
a subject of DROP within that (or those) conference(s). Example:
@X0DTO: MARKMAIL
@X0DSUBJECT: DROP
@X0FBLTS On/Off@X0B
You can toggle selection Bulletins On & Off with a message to MarkMail.
@X0DTO: MARKMAIL
@X0DSUBJECT: BLTS ON or BLTS OFF
@X0FOwn Messages On/Off@X0B
You can turn reception of your own (From You) messages On or Off with
a message to MarkMail. Example:
@X0DTO: MARKMAIL
@X0DSUBJECT: OWN ON or OWN OFF
@X0FDeluxe Menu On/Off@X0B
You can turn the Deluxe Menu On or Off with a message to MarkMail.
@X0DTO: MARKMAIL
@X0DSUBJECT: DELUXE ON or DELUXE OFF
@X0FForcing Non-Echo'ed Messages@X0B
MarkMail provides a method to enter local mail into echoed conferences.
Simply preface the subject with 'NE:', standing for No Echo. MarkMail
will remove the NE: from the subject field prior to insertion. Example:
@X0DTO: CLIFF WATKINS
@X0DSUBJECT: NE:Local Intelec Messages
@X0FThe Pointer File@X0B
MarkMail places into the BBS-ID.QWK file a pointer file that contains
your last message read pointers. If you should lose a BBS-ID.QWK, you
can go back to a previous BBS-ID.QWK, get the BBS-ID.PNT file, and ZIP
it into a BBS-ID.REP and upload it into MarkMail. Your pointers will
now be 'reset' to where they were prior to the packet that was lost.@X0F
I hope you enjoy using MarkMail, The Intellectual Choice!
