Short: Shows yet unanswered mails again Author: Olaf Peters Uploader: Olaf Peters Type: comm/ums Version: 1.0 (15.7.96) Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: legt unbeantworte Mails erneut vor SYNOPSIS Scans your mail for unanswered messages and postpones them. FUNCTION Ever experienced the situation that you have *accidently* not answered a mail you received? AnswerControl will prevent you from doing that again :-) AnswerControl scans your mail for messages which have been marked old but have not yet been answered. If it finds such a message it sets the postponed flag on it, so you can easily scan for these messages i.e. using a decent newsreader like IntuiNews. AnswerControl will not set the postponed flag on messages that have been marked with one or more of the following flags: selected, junk, expired, archive, postponed or parked. These flags mean you had a certain intention with the message and have not forgotten to answer. So if you intionally don't want to answer a mail, just set one of the above mentioned flags. CONFIGURATION As you may have some folders in your mail, where mails usually not every mail has to be answerd (i.e. mailinglists), you can tell AnswerControl to ignore these folders by specifying them in the ums.config variable AnswerControl.IgnoreFolders. AnswerControl.IgnoreFolders is an UMS pattern, so you may use UMS' wildcards as well.
