The MainMail System Version 3
[R]eset Pointers
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This function will reset your 'Last Message Read' pointers in all of
your selected forums. When you choose [R]eset Pointers, you will be
presented with this prompt:
Enter number of messages you wish to receive, 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.
For example, if the highest message in one of your SELECTED forums is
100, and you enter 20, MainMail will set your 'last exported' counter
for that forum to 80, (100-20) so that next time you download, you
will receive 20 messages in that forum. MainMail then repeats this
for each of your SELECTED forums.
This is an easy way to tell The MainMail System to extract a given
number of 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.
