- @CLS@@X0F MarkMail Help - Download Packet
- -------------------------------
- This tells Markmail to extract & download messages based on your
- selected conferences. When you choose [D]ownload, Markmail does
- several things.
-
- 1) Markmail extracts the messages in each conference you have selected.
- a) If activated, Markmail extracts a list of new files.
- b) If activated, Markmail extracts all new bulletins.
-
- 2) Markmail then displays the number of messages, bulletins and files it
- has found and gives you three options. These are:
- Do you want to Receive this Packet,
- [Y]es, [N]o, [G]oodbye When Done :
- [Y]es - Continues the download
- [N]o - Aborts the download, pointers remain unchanged.
- [G] - Continues the download and logs you off when done.
-
- 3) Markmail creates and compresses the packet using the compression
- method you have chosen, or using the default compression method.
-
- 4) Markmail then displays the size of the packet, and the estimated
- download time based on your baudrate. Markmail then sends the
- file using the protocol you have chosen. If no protocol has
- been chosen, Markmail will ask you for the protocol to use for
- this transfer.
-
- NOTE: If the estimated time is higher than the amount of time
- you have allocated, Markmail aborts the download. If this
- happens, you may wish to extract fewer messages, or toggle
- bulletins or files to OFF.
