!TCPIPUser/AutoBoot/!Qedit/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

In this document, the term "message" is used to refer to both "electronic
mail messages" and "news articles".
1. Disclaimer
-------------
The Qedit program is Copyright 1995 by David Croft, whose address may be
found at the bottom of this file.
You may copy this program freely, as long as:
* You do not charge for it in any way.
* You distribute it intact, with all files present and unmodified.
* You understand that the copyright remains with the author.
This program comes with no guarantee, implied or stated. No responsibility
can be accepted by the author for loss of data.
Permission is granted to Dr. Alan Hassey to include this software in his
Internet Starter Pack, and to Acorn User magazine to include Qedit on
their cover disc.
2. Requirements
---------------
Operating System:
* RISC OS 3.10 or greater
Software:
* ka9q (!TCPIP)
* Newsbase
Both of these programs can be retreived from:
ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/archimedes/developers
If you don't have Newsbase, you will be unable to edit outgoing messages,
but you will still be able to use the other options.
3. Running Qedit
----------------
Qedit should be installed inside !TCPIPUser.AutoBoot.
There are four ways of runnning Qedit:
i) Double click on it directly.
ii) Use the "Queues..." option in Newsbase.
iii) Use an option in TCPIP's macros menu (version 1.02 or greater have
this already set up).
iv) Run it automatically from a desktop save file.
When you run Qedit, it will take a couple of seconds to scan your outgoing
queues. If it cannot find your mail directory (either !MailDir or !TCPIPUser)
then it will complain and quit. Otherwise the main window will open.
4. The main window
------------------
This window shows all messages that will be sent next time you connect to
your service provider using ka9q.
The first column (headed Type) shows whether the message is Mail or News. If
it is "on hold" (see section 5), a red message appears here too.
The second column is headed ID, and is a unique identifier for that message.
You will only need to know this if you want to manually alter a message.
The third column is the size of the message in bytes, including headers. This
is shown in bytes, or kilobytes if suffixed with "k".
The fourth and fifth columns indicate the time and date at which the message
was last edited.
The final column shows who the message is from, the subject, and the
destination (either an e-mail address for mail, or a newsgroup for news).
The last column will be truncated if it is too long, and terminated by an
ellipsis. (...)
5. Messages "on hold"
---------------------
If you have written a message, but you don't want it to be sent off
immediately, you can put it "on hold". This prevents ka9q from sending it
when you next connect to your service provider.
This can be useful if you want time to think over what you have said, or
if you wish to delay posting of a message.
To put a message on hold, click ADJUST on it, or choose the menu item "Hold".
To release it, click ADJUST again, or choose the menu item "Release".
Messages that are on hold are listed with a red "HELD" message on the queues
display.
6. Re-editing messages
----------------------
To re-edit a message, simply click on it with SELECT. Assuming a suitable
text editor can be found (e.g. !Edit or !Zap), a window containing the
message will appear. You may then edit it as you please.
Once you have finished, simply save the file (without changing the filename),
and then close the window. Qedit will detect that you have finished, and
repost the message through Newsbase. If you don't want to save the changes,
simply close the window and discard the file.
Note that you can only edit one message at a time, and that it will be
automatically put "on hold" to stop it being sent while you're editing it.
Read section 9 for restrictions on blind carbon copies.
7. Other options
----------------
To delete a message, choose the menu option "Item-->Delete". You will be
prompted for confirmation. Click OK to delete the item, or Cancel to leave
it intact. If you don't want to be asked for confirmation each time, you can
turn it off (see section 8).
If you delete a message by mistake, you may find it in the
Email.<username>.outgoing.mail/news folders, if you have enabled this feature
in Newsbase.
To force Qedit to rescan your outgoing queues, choose the menu option
"Re-check queues".
To remove everything from the outgoing queues (including held messages)
choose the menu item "Flush queues". You will be asked for confirmation once,
even if you have turned confirmation off (see section 8).
To leave Qedit simply click on the window's close icon, or choose the
menu option "Quit".
8. Configuration
----------------
If you do not wish to be asked for confirmation each time you choose the
menu option "Delete", you can turn this off by altering the Messages file.
Open the Qedit application directory, load the Messages file into a text
editor (e.g. !Edit or !Zap), and locate the line beginning with "confirm:".
This line tells Qedit whether to ask you for confirmation. If it is set to
"Y" then you WILL be asked for confirmation each time. If it is set to "N"
then you will NOT be asked.
If you want to change the name of the scrapfile that Qedit uses, open the
Messages file and find the line beginning "scrap:". Change the rest of the
line to the new scrapfile filename.
9. Known problems
-----------------
If you edit a mail message which originally had blind-carbon-copy (Bcc:)
recipients, these will not be kept if you save the message. If you want
to keep them, you must type them back manually by adding a Bcc: line
to the headers, e.g.:
To: johnny@white.com
Cc: fred@bloggs.co.uk
Bcc: harry@infotrek.co.uk <- You must type this line back in yourself.
I can't see any way of doing this automatically at the moment, but I will
keep trying!
Also, if you try to repost a message while Newsbase is busy (e.g. during a
debatch or expiry) the message may be lost, although you can find it in your
!Scrap directory.
10. Wish-list
-------------
* Saving a queue report (simply a transcript of the window)
* Check with the user when receiving PreQuit.
* Calculate the correct boundaries in Redraw loop to speed it up.
* Fix quit-handling - have a rescue option and store all the type/id
info inside the scrapdir.
* Handle "try again later" message correctly.
* Use SWIs instead of OS_CLI Wipe/Delete/Copy/Move
(This will also stop it copying wierdly for people with the Bits module)
* Insert Bcc: lines before re-editing
11. Release history
-------------------
0.01� (22 Jan 1995)
/ to Graham Allan
0.50� (25 Jan 1995)
* re-write of loading/redrawing code - and now uses Wimp icons for column
separators rather than drawing them myself (much faster)
* uses the text files rather than work files to scan queues
/ sent to beta-testers
0.51� (31 Jan 1995)
* asks for confirmation if you try to quit whilst editing
* gives an informative message if it can't find a text editor (rather than
just assuming it's being edited) (this means you now need RISC OS 3.10)
* command-line options -debug and -noconfirm added
* Individual icons for the column headers to make it RiscPC-friendly
* Will automatically update queues when a message is sent through Newsbase
version 0.52e or greater. Up to 50 extra messages can be added before a
reload of Qedit is required. If you are editing, this is done when you
have finished editing, otherwise it is done immediately.
* Broadcasts the update message when an message is held/released/deleted to
allow other queue programs and !NewsBase to update.
* Tidied up Wimp message handling
* Remembers the message you're editing by it's ID, rather than its position
in the window. This means:
a) It doesn't lose track after a QueueUpdate message.
b) You can now delete/hold/release any message that is not being edited.
* Menu options "Help", "Re-check queues" and "Flush queues" added.
* Fixed re-opening of menus.
* Truncates "To:" and "From:" lines in mail messages if they are too long.
/ sent to beta-testers
0.52� (5 Feb 1995)
* Fixed bug that stopped the info for news articles being displayed. (there
was a spurious ENDIF hanging around)
* Widened the ID column as I discovered news ID's could be 6 long (but are
limited to 6 as they are preceded by "news". Mail shouldn't be a problem;
if you have sent 999,999 messages you can jolly well change your sequence
file!)
* When you've finished re-editing, the message is now posted through Newsbase
(if you change it). This removes the restriction on To:, Cc: and Bcc:
changing. (This means you now need Newsbase to edit messages)
* Now has a multi-tasking message window for non-serious errors, in the same
style as Newsbase. (centralised on screen)
* Now uses MessageTrans for nearly all non-debug text.
* Checks the edit window whenever the main window is asked to redraw, so
that it can usually detect the window close immediately. Also checks
every 50cs.
* Interactive help added.
* Fixed "Re-check queues" while TCPIP is sending mail.
/ sent to betatesters
0.53 (8 Feb 1995)
* Removed all debugging code. -debug command-line option removed.
* General tidy up.
/ sent to Dr. Alan Hassey
0.54 (16 Feb 1995)
* Stops you loading more than one copy - if you try, it brings the original
copy back to the front.
* Now inserts filename into a desktop boot file if you use the Desktop Boot
option from the Task Manager.
* Messages greater than 50 kilobytes long now have their size displayed in
kilobytes instead of bytes.
* Moved "-noconfirm" into Messages file.
* Changed wimpslot from 128k to 64k. Fixed updating of display when memory short.
* Easier installation method.
