[#] to Change, [R]e-List Options, or [Enter] alone to Exit :
This option allows you to set a few other defaults. Simply choose
the number and enter the new value. Here is a detailed description
of each selection:
1. Max Size of MESSAGES.DAT : Unlimited
Determines the size limit of the MESSAGES file in your packet.
This limit does NOT affect the bulletin or file lists, ONLY the
messages.
2. Max Messages/Forum : Default Default= 200
This determines the maximum number of messages per forum that will
be extracted in any ONE download. The sysop has also limited you
to how large you can increase this to based on your baudrate.
3. Max Messages/Packet : Default Default= 32767
This determines the maximum TOTAL number of messages you can
extract in any one download. It should be noted that the sysop has
also limited the total number of messages you can extract and
therefore, you might not receive the number shown here.
4. Receive Messages YOU Posted: No
This determines whether or not MainMail will extract messages that
you posted. Some users like to receive their own messages to see
how well they came out in their final draft.
5. Send Color Bulletins : No
Some readers are capable of displaying bulletins and welcome
screens in color, others are not. If you are using a reader that
allows color, you can toggle this on and MainMail will extract the
color version of all screens. If the bulletins appear garbled in
your reader, toggle this off.
