The MainMail System Help - Download Packet
------------------------------------------
This tells The MainMail System to extract and download messages
based on your selected forums. When you choose [D]ownload,
The MainMail door does several things...
1) MainMail extracts the messages in each forum you have selected.
a) If activated, MainMail extracts a list of new files.
b) If activated, MainMail extracts all new bulletins.
2) MainMail then displays the number of messages, bulletins and
files it has found and gives you three options. These are:
Do you want to Receive this Packet,
[Y]es, [N]o, [G]oodbye When Done :
[Y]es - Continues the download
[N]o - Aborts the download
[G] - Continues the download and logs you off when done.
3) MainMail creates and compresses the packet using the compression
method you have chosen, or using the default compression method.
4) MainMail then displays the size of the packet, and the estimated
download time based on your baudrate. MainMail then sends the
file using the protocol you have chosen. If no protocol has
been chosen, MainMail will ask you for the protocol to use for
this transfer.
5) If the protocol you have selected in the bbs as your default
protocol is set up in The MainMail System with the same letter,
that protocol was assigned as your default when you opened The
MainMail System door the first time.
NOTE: If the estimated time is higher than the amount of time
you have allocated, MainMail aborts the download. If this
happens, you may wish to extract fewer messages, or toggle
bulletins or files to OFF to reduce the size of your QWK
packet.
