- ; Sample Msged TE configuration file
- ;
- ; On OS/2, DOS and Windows, you have to rename this file to MSGED.CFG and
- ; place it in the directory where MsgEd TE is installed.
- ;
- ; On Unix, you have to rename this file to .msged and put it into your home-
- ; directory ("mv sample.cfg ~/.msged").
- ;
- ; This sample configuration file is intended to give you a quick start into
- ; MsgEd TE 05. It does not want to be a full documentation. Hence, it does
- ; not cover all possible keywords and switches. For a full documentation,
- ; refer to the MsgEd TE manual.

-
-
- ; Section 1 of this file covers settings that apply to both the DOS/WIN/OS/2
- ; ========= version and the Unix/Linux version.
-
-
- Name "Joe Sysop" 0
- ;Configure your user name. The number after the name is the lastlread pointer
- ;offset. In this case, it is 0, indicating that you are the sysop
-
- Address 2:2499/9876
- Address 99:1234/567.97
- Address 242:9876/5432.0@fido.de
- ;Configure as much FTN addresses as you desire.
- ;The addresses can be 3D, 4D or 5D.
-
- OutputCharset IBMPC
- ;This defines which character set your mails should be converted to on save.
- ;You can put IBMPC here even if your system is using a different charset.
-
- AssumeCharset IBMPC
- ;This defines which character set a mail that does not contain a CHRS kludge
- ;is assumed to have.
-
- ;Uucp 242:4900/99
- ;Here, you can define the address of an internet (UUCP) that you want to use.
- ;Refer to the manual for further details-
-
- Uucpname UUCP
- ;Uucpname *
- ;Use "Uucpname *" instead of "Uucpname UUCP" if the gateway software of your
- ;gateway is Fidogate.
-
- Origin We love MsgEd ...
- Origin MsgEd TE is available for OS/2, Linux, NT and DOS!
- ;Define one or more origin lines. If you define more than one, the line
- ;that will be used will be selected randomly each time you write a new mail.
-
- LastRead lastread
- ;Leave this as is
-
- ;TossLog e:\squish\echotoss.log
- ;Uncomment this if you want all mails that you write be recorded in the
- ;echotoss.log file. See the manual for further details.
-
- UserOffset 0
- ;Again, the 0 indicates that you are the sysop of this system.
-
- Quote _&>_
- ;Your quote string prefix. Leave this as is.
-
- QuoteRight 75
- ;Right margin to use when quoting text.
-
- NodePath r:\mailer\nodelist
- ;Path to the raw nodelist and the compiled V7 nodelist index
-
- Nodelist fidonet nodex sysop.ndx
- ;Define the names of the index file. Refer to the manual for further details.
-
- UserList r:\mailer\nodelist\fidouser.lst
- ;If you are able to generate a FIDOUSER.LST file, do so. The lookup routines
- ;in MsgEd that work with a FIDOUSER.LST file are much better than those that
- ;work with plain V7 indices.
-
- QuickBBS r:\mailer\msgbase\hudson
- ;Path to your Hudson / QuickBBS message base files, if you use one.
-
- AreaFileFlags 8u
- ;Enable FSC 0054 and internet gateway features.
-
- AreaFile Fastecho E:\MAILER\fastecho\fastecho.cfg
- ;AreaFile Squish r:\mailer\squish\squish.cfg
- ;AreaFile Areas r:\mailer\squish\areas.bbs
- ;Read in all message areas defined in a tosser configuration file

- FreqArea NETMAIL
- ;Area tag where file request mails should be saved. Normally, this should
- ;be your netmail folder.

- ;Leave these as they are..
-
- Switch EditTearlines On
- Switch EditOriginlines On
- ;Show the tear and origin lines in the message editor. You can switch
- ;this off if you do not like it.
-
- Switch UseLastr On
- ;Use lastread pointers. Who would not want to do this?
-
- Switch NetmailVia Off
- ;It does not make much sense for a message editor to insert tear lines ..
-
- Switch SquishLock Off
- ;If you are running on a non-networked single tasking system, you could
- ;turn this switch on to improve performance
-
- SortAreas NGD
- ;Sort the message areas: (N)etmail first, then by Fastecho (G)roup,
- ;then by area (D)escription.
-
- ;Function 0 ^m ; Autostart macro
- ;Uncomment this if you do not want MsgEd to stop at the logo display on
- ;startup.
-
- Function 1 \0x23
- ; F1 = Help menu
-
- ; Here is how you can manually define message areas (in case that MsgEd
- ; does not support the configuration file of the tosser that you are using):
- ;
- ; <format> <area-type[msgattrs]> <"Area description"> <path> <tag> [address]
- ;
- ; <format> Squish | Fido | Quick
- ; <area-type> m .. netmail
- ; e .. echomail
- ; u .. enable gateway features for this area
- ; 8 .. write mails with CHRS kludge in this area
- ; <msgattrs> p .. private
- ; k .. kill/sent
- ; <"description"> Description of area
- ; <path> Path to messagebase (or HMB board number)
- ; [tag] Echomail areatag; do not specify for non-echomail areas
- ; [address] FTN address to use for this area
- ;
- ; Some examples:
-
- Fido mu8 "Intransit Netmail" e:\msgbase\intransit\
- Squish mu8p "Netmail Folder" e:\msgbase\netmail
- Squish eu8 "MsgEd Support" e:\msgbase\msged MSGED_ECHO
- Squish eu8 "Test echo" e:\msgbase\z99test Z99.TEST 99:1234/567.97

- ; Section 2 of this file covers settings that only make sense on certain
- ; ========= operating systems.
-
- ;First comes the huge bunch of UNIX specific settings:
-
- IF UNIX
-
- Switch Shadows Off
- ;Drawing shadows around dialog borders is a nice feature, but it costs too
- ;much time on typical UNIX terminal.
-
- Template ~/.msged.tpl
- ;The template file defines templates for greetings, signoffs and footers.
-
- HelpFile ~/.msged.hlp
- ;This is a binary file containing the online help
-
- ;MountDir /bbsdisk E:
- ;If you install MsgEd on Unix, but your tosser runs on OS/2, DOS or Windows
- ;(supposing the messagebase is shared via Samba or NFS), your tosser
- ;configuration file (AreaFile) will contain DOSish path references (like
- ;E:\MAILER\MSGBASE\MSGED.SQD) that have to be translated to be useful to
- ;the MsgEd which is running on Unix.
- ;Suppose that the OS/2 PC running the tosser mounts drive E: from your Unix
- ;server. Everything that is stored on the E: disk will then be visible in
- ;the /bbsdisk subdirectory on Unix. If you specify "MountDir /bbsdisk E:",
- ;MsgEd will translate all filenames that it reads from the tosser config
- ;file that start with "E:" accordingly (the string "E:" will be replaced with
- ;"/bbsdisk"). It will of course also translate ;backslashes into slashes etc.
- ;For this to work, you must of course place the MountDir keyword *before*
- ;the AreaFile keyword!
-
-
- ReadKey 0x003E link_to ; >
- ReadKey 0x003C link_from ; <
-
- ;The standard layout of MsgEd assigns Ctrl+Right for jumping to the next
- ;reply to a message and Ctrl+Left for jumping to the message the current
- ;message is a reply to. These keys do not work on most unix systems.
- ;Therefore, the two lines above assign the > and the < key to these
- ;functions.
-
-
- EditKey 0x0004 del ; Ctrl+D
- EditKey 0x000E Down ; Ctrl+P
- EditKey 0x0006 Right ; Ctrl+F
- EditKey 0x0002 Left ; Ctrl+B
- EditKey 0x0010 Up ; Ctrl+N
- EditKey 0x0001 gobol ; Ctrl+A
- EditKey 0x0005 goeol ; Ctrl+E
- EditKey 0x000B emacskill ; Ctrl+K
- ;These keywords add some emacs feeling to the internal message editor ;-)
-
-
- ReadKey 0x2500 view ; Alt+K shows kludges
- ;The standard MsgEd keyboard layout assigns Alt+V for toogline the display
- ;of kludge lines on or off. However, Alt+V kollides with the German Umlauts
- ;and therefore is disabled. The line above therefore assigns Alt+K to
- ;this function.
-
-
- EnableSC Σ÷ⁿ▀─╓▄
- ;If your Unix system is configured correctly (i.E. to use the ISO 8859-1
- ;character set), the parameters above should be the German umlauts: a
- ;dieresis, o dieresis, u dieresis, sharp s, A dieresis, O diereisis and U
- ;dieresis. If it doesn't, fix it!
- ;Normally, the Unix version does not allow entry of German umlauts and
- ;other special characters, because in VT100 they conflict which the Alt-key
- ;combinations that MsgEd crucially relies on. If you uncomment the line
- ;from above, you enable the input of these seven special characters. This
- ;is convenient if you are writing German text, but you will not be able
- ;to enter Alt+V any more - a fair compromise.
-
-
- ;Linux Console supports color and needs a special tweak for backspace
- IF TERM=linux
- Switch Colors On
