Explanation
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Deletes MSGs older than specified days. You can use this option with the
number of days as parameter: If you use the MsgArea-Parameter, you can
delete MSGs of another MsgArea than the Default-Area. Now you can delete
EchoMsgs intelligent! Store all not-received mail for your Users in their
private folder.
This option has been programmed, when the normal Sysop had killed his
messages by hand. He couldn't be absent, he must select the MsgArea,
keep an eye on it, etc.
Now there are a lot of Deleting Programs available, but none of them
has these fine features of this option. You can be proud of using them.
Perhaps you want to kill only private messages. No problem. Perhaps
only kill-protected or perhaps only bagged messages. Or you decide
to kill bagged or received messages, which are private. Your phantasy
will not be delimited by this option.
And perhapy you think: And if i kill a message, which hasn't received
yet ? Sometimes you must kill all messages, which are older than
perhaps 60 or 90 days. But on the other hand a user can be in holiday
or he has had an accident and couldn't call your BBS for half an year
now. He will miss all his mail.
This option keeps it for him. If the unreceived message was in an
Echo-Area, a local one or the NetMail Area. No problem. This is, what
we mean, when we are saying: Deleting message. Yes, but intelligent.
And here some examples:
e.g. JLUTIL /DM ,30
or JLUTIL /DM ?,30
or JLUTIL /DM E:\GT\MSGLOGON,30
or JLUTIL /DM E:\GT\MSGLOGON,30,0,NKP
or JLUTIL /DM ~,1,0,PKN,BR
or JLUTIL /DM E10_000,30,0,PKN,?,?,0..z
or JLUTIL /DM E10_000,0,200,PKN,?,S,0..z
