- The MainMail System Help - Reset Pointers
- -----------------------------------------
-
- This function will reset your 'Last Message Read' pointers in
- all of your selected forums. When you choose [R]eset Pointers,
- you are presented with this prompt:
-
- Enter a number to set Pointers back by, or [Enter] to Abort:
-
- If you enter a number, MainMail will find the highest message
- number in each forum you have SELECTED (see [S]elect for
- information on selecting forums), subtract this number from it,
- and set your 'Last Message Read' pointer to the new number.
-
- This is an easy way to tell The MainMail System to extract, say,
- 50 messages from each of the forums you take.
-
- If you press [Enter] alone, MainMail will abort this function,
- and return you to the main prompt.
