- How to set up ReadMail to browse my FAQ files
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- Jeroen Schipper has written his really excellent ReadMail email,
- news, and message reader (it is available as from Garbo archives as
- ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/mail/rmail41.zip, or whatever version number
- is current). I have written my Frequently Asked Questions files
- since in such a format that all the *.txt files included can be read
- with ReadMail. Try it on the FAQ files from tsfaqn*.zip or
- tsfaqp*.zip. You'll like it.
- When you have gained some familiarity with Readmail, here is the
- modify rule to use for browsing my FAQs. It is already there as
- modify rule [C] since ReadMail version 3.1. To recount how you can
- set the modify rule, first call readmail, then press the F8 key,
- then select rule C (or whatever letter is free in the table) by
- pressing ALT-C. If you want to change anything, use the cursor keys
- to go to the fields, and edit them. Be careful to get the spaces
- right. And ascertain that there is no space at the beginning of the
- New header description. In the Subject put one space also after Q:.
- To edit the editing phase, press the enter key.

- Modify rule [C]
