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.
