!Help file for !MailFormt - The BBS Mail Formatter...
-----------------------------------------------------
� Stryker Software 1997/8
Written by Jon Ripley

Version 1.50

This application lets you prepare your BBS mail much more quickly.
!MailFormt is a helpful application (ie it gives help through !Help or
similar applications.)

Typing mail to upload to your favourite BBS can be a tedious task, you have
to remember which headers to use and sometimes you have to type 'Subject:'
before the subject or even include a password.

!MailFormt was written to take all the hassle of writing mail. Just type you
mail, following the guidelines below, and then load the mail into !MailFormt
and it will do all the hard work for you and give you a copy of your mail
file that is ready to upload to the BBS.

Section 1...Typing your mail
----------------------------

When you are typing your mail you don't even need to have !MailFormt loaded,
just use your favourite text editor (!Zap, !StrongEdit, !Edit, etc) and save
your mail as a text file.

You can even type your mail on a BBC or an IBM PC, !MailFormt doesn't mind
at all!

!MailFormt even fixes the double linefeed bug that many BBSs suffer from
when uploading mail so if your paragraphs have been squished together in the
past, they won't be anymore! - Unless you want them that way!

1. Writing an e-mail
--------------------

Just preceed the e-mail address with a '>' and type the subject on the next
line. There is no need to type 'Subject:' and if you are using Arcade BBS,
you don't even have to type in your password. !MailFormt does all this for
you!

Here is an example ...

>nobody@just.a.test.com
This is the 'Subject'.

Hello there nobody...

Your message!

Bye!

2. Writing a message to send to another BBS user
------------------------------------------------

Just preceed their user name (or user number) with a '>' and type the
subject on the next line. There is no need to type 'Subject:'.

Here is an example...

>Joe Bloggs
This is a message!

Hello there Joe Bloggs.

Your message!

Bye!

3. Writing a netmail
--------------------

Just preceed the netmail address with a '>' and type the subject on the next
line. There is no need to type 'Subject:' and if you are using Arcade BBS,
you don't even have to type in your password. !MailFormt does all this for
you!

Here is an example...

>Any Person at fidonet#1:234/56.7
This is the 'Subject'.

Hello there....

Your message!

Bye!

4. Writing a message to a BBS echo area
---------------------------------------

Just preceed the echo area number with '>@' followed by the echo number and
either '->' followed by a name or '#' followed by a message number. Type the
subject on the next line. There is no need to type 'Subject:'.

Here is an example reply to message 12345 on area 67...

>@67 #12345
This is the 'Subject'.

Hello there....

Your message!

Bye!

Here is an example message to 'Joe Bloggs' on area 67...

>@67 ->Joe Bloggs
This is the 'Subject'.

Hello there....

Your message!

Bye!

Instead of a name you can type 'All' instead to send the message to
everybody.

5. Writing any type of message using a name in your address book
----------------------------------------------------------------

A bonus of !MailFormt is that it contains a unique address book that you can
store all the strange e-mail/net mail/etc address's that you use. See
Section 3 for more information.

For example if you had an Uncle Jon who's e-mail address was
'uncle.jon@somewhere.somewhere-else.co.uk' you could just put his e-mail
address in your address book and choose to type 'Uncle Jon' instead of
having to remember his e-mail address!

All you need to do to send a message to someone in your e-mail book is
preceed their name (or whatever you have chosen to call them) as it appears
in your address book with '>>'.

Note: Don't worry about getting the upper/lower case letters perfect, 'Uncle
Jon', 'UNCLE JON' and 'unCLe JoN' would all be accepted - if you had an
Uncle Jon in your book!

An example message to 'Uncle Jon'...

>>Uncle Jon
This is the 'Subject'.

Hello there....

Your message!

Bye!

General Guidelines...(Rules!)
-----------------------------

You can have as many messages in one text file as you like. Just follow each
message with another. It's that easy!

You can mix and match the normal BBS mail headers with the 'easy' ones that
!MailFormt provides. Not that you'd want to of course!

If you want to include uuencoded files with your mail just do it!

You can only use '<' and '>' as the first character in any line if it is the
start of a mail header, this is because either !MailFormt or your BBS will
think that you are starting a new message. You can use them anywhere else in
a line though!

Section 2...Formatting your mail
--------------------------------

Once you have typed your mail and saved it you should now load !MailFormt.

Drag your text file onto the !MailFormt icon on the iconbar (or into the
main program window if it is open). The name of your file will appear in the
window.

The name of your mail file appears next to the 'mail file' icon, this is the
file that !MailFormt will reformat.

Now you should choose the BBS that you are going to upload your mail to, to
do this click the SELECT or ADJUST button on the 'menu' icon next to the
name of the currently selected BBS. A menu will appear with a list of BBSs
in, click on any of these to choose your BBS. (The name of the BBS will
appear in the main window.)

If you choose 'Arcade BBS' you will need to type in your e-mail password in
the 'password' icon.

All you need to do now is click on the 'Reformat' icon.

A 'save box' will open up and you can use this just like any other 'save
box'. Just type in a filename and press RETURN, click on the 'OK' icon or
drag the icon to a directory display to reformat and save your mail.

You can also drag the icon on to almost any other application that accepts
text files, although your computer will need to have seen a copy of the
'!Scrap' application in order to do this.

Your mail is now ready to be uploaded! (Remember to upload the reformatted
mail file and not the original!)

If an error occured when you tried to save your mail don't worry, no harm
has been done and all you need to do is fix the error (such as choosing a
BBS etc) and try again. The 'save box' will remain open until you close it
or your mail has been saved!

Special Features
----------------

In the main window next to your 'mail file' filename is an 'Edit' button. If
you click on this icon your mail file will be loaded into your text editor
ready for you to make any changes!

Clicking on the 'Clear' icon will clear the filenames and password. But not
the current BBS.

See Section 3 for information about the address book and Section 4 for
information about the BBS data file.

Section 3...The Address Book
----------------------------

A unique feature of !MailFormt is that it contains an address book which you
can cram full with all the user names, e-mail address's, net mail address's,
echo area names, etc that you use and instead of having to type the FULL
address you can type in one of two alternatives you can choose to use.

In fact, any 'address' that you can send mail to you can include in your
address book.

To use a name that you have in you address book you just preceed the name
with '>>' instead of '>', simple!

For example, if you have a friend called Joe Bloggs with an e-mail address
of JBloggs134@compuserve.nuts you could put his name in the address book.
His entry in the address book might be:

Joe Bloggs,Joe,JBloggs134@compuserve.nuts

Instead of having to type (and remember) his e-mail address each time you
want to send a message to him you would just need to type '>>Joe Bloggs' or
'>>Joe'. !MailFormt does all the hard work for you. Plus there is no need to
worry about matching the capital/small letters since 'Joe Bloggs',
'JOE�BLOGGS' and 'jOE BlOgGS' would all be recognised.

To edit your e-mail book just click on the 'Edit Address Book' icon, your
address book will be loaded into your text editor and you can make any
changes or just take a look.

The Format Of The Address Book
------------------------------

Instead of having a complicated set of windows to edit your address book and
using a strange layout for the file, !MailFormt's address book is a normal
text file that you can edit in any text editor.

Each entry in your address book consists of two names and a mailing address
each separated by a comma (and no space). Having two names allows you a bit
of flexibility, you don't need to use both names just one is fine but for
instance if you have a friend called 'Jon Ripley' you could use his full
name as the first possibility and 'Jon' as the second, or even the other way
around!

A mailing address can be anything that you could normally send some mail to.
You just need the bit that you would type after the '>'. It could be an
e-mail address, a net mail address, a private BBS echo area address or even
just someone's user name.

Lines beginning with a '#' are ignored, this allows you to have as many
comments in your address book as you need. Blank lines are also ignored.
This is to allow you to lay out your address book in a way that suits you.

Some examples of possible entries in your address book are...

# This is just a comment so it will be ignored...

Jon Ripley,Jon,jonripley@arcade.demon.co.uk
JB,Joe Bloggs,J Bloggs at fidonet#1:234/56.7
Alison,,Alison Anybody
Science,Sci,@15 ->All

The first is an e-mail address, you could use '>>Jon Ripley' or '>>Jon'
instead of typing '>' followed by the e-mail address.

The second is a fidonet address, again you could type '>>JB' or
'>>Joe Bloggs' instead of typing '>' followed by the net mail address.

The third is a regular user name (ie, someone on the same BBS as you),
instead of typing '>' followed by her full user name of 'Alison Anybody' you
could just type '>>Alison'

The fourth one is an example of a private BBS echo area message, for example
if there is a Science echo from the internet on BBS area 15, to send a
message to it you just need to type '>>Sci' or '>>Science' instead of a '>'
followed by the echo address.

If you have altered the address book and you want to use it 'now', just
click on the 'Use New Book' icon. Your new e-mail book will be loaded into
!MailFormt.

If you want to edit the address book without having to use !MailFormt is
simple, just open up the !MailFormt application by holding down either SHIFT
key while you double click on the !MailFormt application. Inside is a text
file called 'EMailBook', this is your address book, just edit it as you
would any other text file.

If you want to pass on this program (see Legal bit below) you can restore
the address book to it's initial state (ie, with only my address in it) just
delete the 'EMailBook' file and run the program. A fresh one will be
created.

At the moment there is a maximum of 700 address's, this is just to keep the
amount of memory used by the program to a comfortable minimum! I think that
700 should be enough for most people!


Section 4...The BBS Data File
-----------------------------

A new (and unique) feature to version 1.50 of !MailFormt (and later
versions) is its ability to prepare mail for uploading to almost any BBS.

I shall refer to this BBS data file as the Choices file (as this is it's
filename.)

As long as the BBS uses a similar upload format to the BBSs already in the
Choices file, all you need to do is add the mail upload headers (available
from the SysOp (or helpfiles) of the BBS in question) to the Choices file
and !MailFormt will be able to reformat your mail for this BBS!

The Format Of The Choices File
------------------------------

The format of the Choices file is very similar to that of the Address book
and can also be edited in any text editor.

Each entry in the Choices file consists of the name of the BBS followed by
the mail headers each separated by a comma (and no space).

Lines beginning with a '#' are ignored, this allows you to have as many
comments in your Choices file as you need. Blank lines are also ignored.

You can load the Choices file into your text editor simply by clicking on
the top 'Edit' icon (next to the name of the current BBS) in the main
!MailFormt window.

If you have altered the Choices file and you want to use it 'now', just
click on the 'Use New BBS File' icon. Your new Choices will be loaded into
!MailFormt.

If you want to edit the Choices file without having to use !MailFormt is
simple, just open up the !MailFormt application by holding down either SHIFT
key while you double click on the !MailFormt application. Inside is a text
file called 'Choices', this is your choices file, just edit it as you would
any other text file.

If you want to pass on this program (see Legal bit below) you can restore
the choices file to it's initial state. Just delete the 'Choices' file and
run the program. A fresh copy will be created.

At the moment there is a limit of 100 BBSs, I don't think that this should
be enough for all but the most hardened comms freaks.
