@X0B(@X0EA@X0B)  @X0FArchive:@X02

  In order to save time the mail packet is compressed into an archive
before transmission. If the Sysop of this BBS has made more than one
compression method available, use this option to select your preference.

~~

:B
@X0B(@X0EB@X0B)  @X0FBulletins:@X02

  This is a Yes/No toggle switch. When set to Yes will cause to collect the
BBS bulletins from each conference you selected to scan and include them in
your mail packet. The offline RDR's have built in routines to display them.
~~
:C
@X0B(@X0EC@X0B)  @X0FSelect Conferences:@X02

  You will  be presented  one or  more screens  which show all available
conferences.  When you select a conference for scanning, you must select
one of three methods of message scanning.  They are:

    (A)ll               - Scan all messages.
    (P)ersonal          - Scan only personal messages to you.
    (T)o All + Personal - Scan personal and "To All" messages.

  In addition,  you are  given the  opportunity to  set your  last- read
message pointer  in each  conference.   Depending on  the system  and/or
conference, the number of available messages might range from perhaps  a
100 to over several  thousand, in which case  you will probably want  to
set your pointer somewhere near the higher end of available messages.

Note: Conferences may  also be selected/unselected  by creating messages
      offline and addressing them to either KMAIL or QMAIL.  Both EZ-RDR
      and SLMR  mail readers  have  options  to  create  messages of the
      proper format to perform this function.
~~

:D
@X0B(@X0ED@X0B)  @X0FDownload Messages:@X02

  This command starts the process of collecting messages from all of the
conferences that you  have selected to  scan.  The  messages and perhaps
other files such as NEWS and Bulletins are compressed  into a  file with
a .QWK extension and sent to you via your selected transfer protocol.
~~

:F
@X0B(@X0EF@X0B)  @X0FSend New Files List:@X02

  This is a Yes/No toggle switch.   When set to Yes will cause Kmail  to
scan the BBS for files that  have been uploaded since your last  time on
the system and include this information in your mail packet.
~~

:G
@X0B(@X0EG@X0B)  @X0FGoodbye@X02

  This command may be entered at the main menu or as part of a stacked
command upon opening the door. It will log you off the system and hangup
the phone.
~~

:GEN
@X0B(@X0EGEN@X0B)  @X0FGeneral Information:@X02

  The purpose of a mail door is to quickly gather messages and other BBS
information into a downloadable "mail packet" which can then be viewed offline
at your convenience. This allows more time for you to do other things and also
allows more time for other users. Once you have become familiar with using the
KMail door, you may wish to try one of the following methods of quick starting
the door directly from the main PCBoard menu screen.

     KMAIL D       (Open Kmail, Download)
     KMAIL D Y     (Open Kmail, Download, Yes to Receive)
     KMAIL D Y G   (Open Kmail, Download, Yes to Receive, Goodbye)
     KMAIL D G     (Same as above but with 10 sec countdown to Goodbye)
     KMAIL U       (Open Kmail, Upload Replies)
~~

:K
@X0B(@X0EK@X0B)  @X0FKill PreZip Packet:@X02

  If you have a mail packet waiting that has been prezipped by the Sysop
this option may be used to delete the prezip mail packet if for some
reason you don't wish to receive it.
~~

:N
@X0B(@X0EN@X0B)  @X0FSend System News File?@X02

  This is a Yes/No toggle switch. When enabled will cause KMail to include
the NEWS file from the main system area in your mail packet. Depending on
the configuration of this system, you may receive the NEWS file with every
mail packet or only when it has been updated since your last call.

~~

:O
@X0B(@X0EO@X0B)  @X0FDownload Own Messages?@X02

  This is a Yes/No toggle switch.  The question is asking if you want to
download messages that you have personally uploaded.  In other words, do
you want to receive messages from yourself?
~~

:P
@X0B(@X0EP@X0B)  @X0FProcess PTR File?@X02

  This option is used to reset  your message pointers back to that  of a
previous day.  Each mail packet that you download includes a file called
"KMAIL.PTR" which contains a  list of your current  msg pointers.  If  a
need arises to restore your message pointers back to a previous day  and
you  have  one  or  more  .QWK  packets  available,  simply  extract the
KMAIL.PTR file from the appropriate  .QWK packet and use the  (P) option
to upload the pointer file to KMail.

THE KMAIL.PTR FILE MUST NOT BE EDITED OR ALTERED IN ANY WAY!!!
~~

:Q
@X0B(@X0EQ@X0B)  @X0FQuit@X02

  This command will close the KMail door and return you to PCBoard.
~~

:R
@X0B(@X0ER@X0B)  @X0FReset Msg Pointers?@X02

  This  option  is  used  to  adjust  your last-read message pointer, as
required, in one or more  conferences.  The conference in  question must
have  been  previously  selected  for  scanning  in  order  to reset the
pointer.  One or more  conference menu screens are presented  which list
all available conferences.

Note: Last-read  pointers may also be reset by creating offline messages
      and  addressing  them to  either  KMAIL or QMAIL.  Both EZ-RDR and
      SLMR mail  readers  have options to  create messages of the proper
      format to perform this function.
~~

:S
@X0B(@X0ES@X0B)  @X0FSet all Last-Read Ptr's?@X02

  This option will set your last-read message pointer equal to the  high
message # in each of your selected conferences.  You will rarely if ever
need this function.  It is provided in case the need arises.
~~

:T
@X0B(@X0ET@X0B)  @X0FTransfer Protocol?@X02

  The default transfer protocol is Zmodem. If the System Operator of this
BBS has made additional protocols available, use this option to select your
preferred protocol. A menu of available protocols will be presented.
~~

:U
@X0B(@X0EU@X0B)  @X0FUpload Messages:@X02

  If you have created messages  or replies using an offline  reader this
option  is  used  to  send  them  to  the  BBS  for  insertion  into the
appropriate conference.   KMail  expects to  receive a  file with a .REP
extension.   Messages are  only accepted  in conferences  that you  have
previously selected to scan.
~~

:X
@X0B(@X0EX@X0B)  @X0FExpert Toggle:@X02

  This is  an On/Off  toggle switch.   When  set to  the On  position, a
single  command  line  showing  a  partial  list of options is presented
rather than the full menu screen.
~~

:Y
@X0B(@X0EY@X0B)  @X0FD/L all Msgs addressed to YOU:@X02

  This option will scan ALL selected conferences for messages  addressed
specifically to you.  The process starts with the lowest message in each
conference.   Message pointers  are not  changed or  altered in  any way
during this function.  This function is mainly used to obtain a complete
set of your messages in one packet.
~~
