RAMail Online Help
(1) Bulletin Toggle
This option will allow you to tell RAMail whether or not you wish
to receive new bulletins in your mail packet.
(2) New Files Toggle
This option will enable/disable the New Files Scan during packet
creation.
(3) Packing Method
This option allows you to choose which file compression method
will be used in creation of your mail packets and the processing
of any reply packets you upload.
(A)NSI Toggle
This option will enable/disable ANSI while in then RAMail door.
Any changes made to the ANSI toggle remain effective only while
inside RAMail.
(C)onference Select
This option allows you to select which message areas you wish
RAMail to look at when selecting mail to include in your mail
packet. In addition, you can select what type of mail to receive,
i.e. All new mail, mail addressed only to you or All, or mail
addressed only to you. This function can also be used to modify
individual last read pointers.
(D)ownload Mail
This option will begin the process of extracting messages from the
message bases according to your selections made in the (C)onference
Select option. If you have flagged any files while in the (F)ile
Areas function (see below), those files will be sent with your
packet as well. Upon completion of the message extraction, you
will be prompted as to whether you wish to (C)ontinue the transfer,
(G)oodbye after the transfer (logoff) or (A)bort the transfer.
(E)xpress Mail Run
This option works in similar fashion to (D)ownload except that you
will not be prompted with (C)ontinue, (G)oodbye, (A)bort. The packet
will be created and then the transfer will begin immediately. Upon
completion of the transfer, you will be logged off after a 10 second
delay, during which you can abort the logoff.
(F)ile Areas
This is a function you might not expect to see in a mail door.
Upon selecting this option from the menu, you will be shown a list
of all available file areas to which you have access. Choosing one
of the areas by number will begin the display of the list of
files for that area. At the end of each screenful, you will see a
prompt "More (Y/n), (F)lag, (U)nflag". By pressing [ENTER] or [Y]
at this prompt, the listing will continue with the next screenful
files. If you press [F], you will be prompted to enter the name of
the file you wish to flag for download with your mail packet. You
may only flag files one at a time, i.e. you can't enter more than
one file name at the "Enter File Name to Flag" prompt. If you have
previously flagged files that you wish to unflag, press [U] and
enter the file name or enter (*) to unflag all files.
(G)oodbye (Logoff)
This option will log you off of the BBS.
(H)elp
This option will display this help file.
(L)ist New Mail
This option will perform a message scan on all selected message areas
displaying the number of messages above your last read marker.
(M)odify Last Read Pointers
RemoteAccess maintains pointers that point to the highest message
number you have read on each message board. RAMail accesses these
pointers when exporting messages so it will only export messages
above the last one you have read. If for some reason you wish to
change these pointers, either forward to skip mail or backward to
reprocess older mail, you may use this function. This is a global
function, meaning whatever pointer value you specify to this
function will be the new pointer value for ALL message boards. To
modify individual board pointers, use the (C)onference Select
function.
(N)ew Files
This option will display all new files that have been posted since
your last call to the BBS.
(P)age Sysop
This option will signal the sysop that you wish to chat with him/her.
(Q)uit to BBS
This option will exit the RAMail door and return you to the BBS.
(R)estore Last Read Pointers
This option will restore your Last Read pointers to the state they
were in before you did your last mail download. Note that your
current pointers are saved when you select (D) or (E).
(S)ystem Info
This option will display information about the BBS, i.e. Message
Statistics and Last Caller information.
(T)ransfer Protocol
This option will allow you to select your default transfer
protocol that will be used in all packet transfers. Your choices are
Xmodem, Xmodem-1K, Ymodem, Ymodem-G and Zmodem plus any other
protocols your sysop may have configured (if any).
(U)pload Replies
This option will allow you to upload replies that you have written
offline with your offline reader. The replies will be inserted
into the BBS message bases. You can configure your conference choices
offline by entering messages addressed to RAMAIL (or QMAIL). In the
Subject field, you would enter one of the following to specify what
action RAMail should take:
ADD - Adds the conference and selects all mail
ADD A - Adds the conference and selects all mail
ADD YA - Adds the conference and selects mail addressed to you
and mail addressed to ALL
ADD Y - Adds the conference and selects mail addressed to you only
DROP - Removes the conference
Any message text entered in a configuration message is disregarded.
