yahMAIL Guide - Message Read
- Message Header: provides the arrival date/time, the sender,
subject, to whom it was sent, and some status information.
- Highlighted Address: Internet mail addresses are highlighted.
Selecting these links activates the browser's mail agent and may be used
as an alternative to yahMAIL. To use yahMAIL to reply or forward use the
buttons described below.
- Message Status: provides the message size, whether it is an RFC822
format message (Internet as opposed to local VMS), whether it contains MIME
attachments and if so how many.
- Go Back: to the folder browse page.
- Message Text: is displayed in fixed font. If the message contains
attachments buttons representing these are displayed towards the bottom of the
text area. Selecting one opens that attachment.
- Web URLs: mail addresses and Web URLs contained in the message are
shown as links.
- REPLY: button opens the message
create-send page. The destination address and subject field is
automatically completed.
- FORWARD: button also opens the message create-send page.
- Auto-Wrap: specifies to message CREATE-SEND whether message lines
should be automatically wrapped at 72 columns.
- Include: places the currently read message into the CREATE-SEND
text edit area.
- Quote: prefixes each line of an included message with a
">" character to distinguish it from entered text.
- Attachments: specifies the maximum number of attachments that can
be added to the replied-to or forwarded message (in that it provides that
number of attachment BROWSE buttons). Note that not all sites may
support this facility and so it may not be present.
- TEXT: button returns the current message as a plain-text document.
- BINARY: returns the current message as a binary file, usually
resulting in the browser providing a save-as dialog.
- VMS: when checked includes the VMS mail header (and consequently
any RFC822 header) in the above message.
- RFC822: includes any RFC822 header as described above.
