-------------------------------- JetMail Configuration Setup Help -------------------------------- [ Check with your sysop for the JetMail User's Guide for all the details on using JetMail ] <1> Transfer Protocol You need to select a transfer protocol for JetMail to send a .QWK mail packet to you, or for JetMail to receive a .REP reply packet from you. JetMail uses the same transfer protocols as those available in Spitfire's external protocols list. <2> Compression Format Multiple compression utilities may be supported by JetMail. Select the format that you prefer to use with your offline mail reader from the list supported by this BBS. <3> Include Welcome Screen You can optionally receive the welcome screen from your BBS in each mail packet. <4> Include Goodbye Screen You can optionally receive the goodbye screen from your BBS. <5> Include Messages From You JetMail has an option to not download messages that you wrote. Toggling this option to NO will keep your .QWK packets from picking up messages that you wrote. <6> Include New Bulletins JetMail can let you download bulletins updated since the last time you used JetMail. JetMail can scan for all new bulletins and put them in your .QWK packet, or scan for bulletins updated in the first ten bulletins (in case you have games bulletins which are updated daily and you aren't interested in). <7> Include New Files JetMail can scan for new files in the Files Section and include it in your .QWK mail packet. If you want to scan for new files, you can scan all directories or just one directory (like the upload directory; this will keep scanning time short). <8> Maximum Number of Messages This parameter limits the number of messages per .QWK packet. You may want to set a limit to make sure your offline reader is able to handle the mail packet, or to keep a .QWK size is manageable. <9> Maximum Msgs Per Conference This parameter limits the number of messages per conference. Some .QWK mail readers can only read a maximum of 200 messages per conference. If your .QWK reader is able to handle more messages, feel free to adjust this parameter. Include .NDX files Many .QWK mail readers use index files (denoted by the extension .NDX) in the .QWK packet to read messages. Some readers (like SLMR) are able to generate its own indexing, so you could toggle this option to NO if you have such a reader. Generally, you can leave this option to YES. Include User Information Some .QWK mail readers support a User Statistics screen, which contains information of your BBS activities (like how many downloads you've made, last login, etc.). You may toggle this option to YES to have JetMail generate this information in your .QWK. Your user information will be included in the next (and subsequent) JetMail sessions.
