1. XNSMailUser

What can be done with attachments

The XNSMailUser df file provides a module which registers a command that allows one to store a retrieved xnsMail attachment (a serialized file on the local machine) to an xns File Server; then ViewPoint can make sense of the file on the server (a vpDocument), or a directory subtree will appear on the server (vpFolder), etc. The command has two forms:

Deserialize xns-file-server-directory-name ← local-serialized-fileName

Deserialize local-serialized-fileName

In the second case, the profile option XNSMail.DeserializeDir names the destination directory.

Profile Options

XNSMail.attachmentsDir: /tilde/unixname/Cedar/2.0/System/xnsMailAttachments/

The directory into which xnsMailAttachments files are written. The full name of the file appears in the message.

XNSMail.DeserializeDir: ""

The directory into which Deserialize will write files (it must be a directory on an xns File Server).

XNSMail.FlushMsgsWithAttachments: FALSE

If TRUE, messages that have attachments are flushed from the server after being read. If FALSE, they are left on the server and a short message telling the user what type of attachment the message contained is included in the message.

NOTE that FlushMsgsWithAttachments and nsTextFileAsFile interact with each other.

XNSMail.nsTextFileAsFile: FALSE

If TRUE, an attatchment of type nsTextFile will be stored as a file; otherwise, the text of the nsTextFile appears as (part of) the body of the message.

XNSMail.ReturnOfContents: FALSE

Normally, if a message cannot be delivered, only the headers of the message are returned to the sender. If XNSMail.ReturnOfContents is TRUE, the contents of the message are returned as well.
