Previous Unread Message

Headers
Also activated via Ctrl-H. This option lets you select how many header lines you want to see for each message in the browser window. (The keystroke lets you cycle through the four choices in order; the menu lets you make a specific choice.) There are two additional header choices to suppress PGP related information from the message. (The PGP checkboxes are not included in the Ctrl-H rotation). The state of this setting also determines whether or not the header lines will be printed when you print a message.

 
None - No header lines, just the message body text.
Brief - Only displays the From: and Date: headers on the first line, the Subject: header on the second line, and the message body text.
Normal - The Date:, From:, To:, Cc:, Bcc:, and Subject: headers, each on its own line and the message body text.
All - All of the header lines and the message body text.
Hide PGP Headers - Hides the PGP headers and signatures. The "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----" will still be shown when the headers are set to Normal. Headers All, and "Reveal Headers" will override this option and show all headers.
Hide PGP Keyblock - Hides any PGP Public Keyblock from the message display. As with the PGP Headers, Headers All, and "Reveal Headers" will override this option and show all headers.

 
Message font
This option lets you specify the font for the message.

 
Message list font
This option lets you specify the font for the message list.

 
Decode attachments
This option, turns attachment decoding off and on. When attachment decoding is on, which is the default setting, then when you open a message which contains an attachment, the binary attachment file data will be removed and decoded (if it was encoded before transmission) into a temporary file (in the atchmnts subdirectory of your Mailer directory), and the only part of the message which will show in the browser window will be the body text portion and any attachments HTML text; the binary and text attachments will be available to you via the attachment toolbar below the browser window. When attachment decoding is off and you open a message which contains an attachment, the browser window will show you the message just as it was sent to you with the (encoded) attachment file data still inside it, in case you need to see it for diagnostic reasons.

 
Launch program to open attachments
When attachment decoding is on, you can configure Polarbar to automatically run a program for individual attachment files based on their file extension. If you click on the attachment icon for a file that matches one of the extensions in the launch configuration file (launch.dat), then that program will be launched, with the fully qualified name of the attachment appended to it (with a space separator). If the attachment extension isn't in the 'launch.dat' file, then the View/Store Attachment dialog appears. There is a command line option, -launch (e.g., -launch linux.dat), which allows an alternate launch file to be specified. If the file name does not include an absolute path (which requires a drive letter on Windows and OS/2), then it will be treated as being relative to your account directory. You configure the program associations using the settings dialog).

The list of entries is kept unique. That is to say, if you try to have two entries sharing the same file extension, it will replace any existing entry. This includes entries with multiple extensions. For example, if you have an entry which refers to both .DOC and .TXT file extensions and then try to add a new entry referring to just .TXT, it will replace the entry referring to both .DOC and .TXT.

You can specify where to place the attachment file name in the command line for any attachment launcher. You do this by putting a percent sign (%) where the file name should go. If no percent sign is present, the file name gets appended to the end of the command line with an intervening space. If more than one percent sign is present, only the last one will be used. When you don't use a percent sign and the file name has a space in it, the file name will be quoted. The following example shows how to always quote them:

        "D:\Program Files\PMView\PMview.EXE" /NoHelp "%"

 
Toolbar
This option toggles the toolbar on and off. The state of this setting also controls whether or not the compose window's toolbar will be present.

 
Word wrap
Also activated via Ctrl-W. This option turns word wrap on and off.  When word wrap is on, which is the default setting, lines of text which are longer than the browser window is wide, will be wrapped down onto the next line. When word wrap is off, this will not be done; furthermore, a non-proportional font is used, so this is the correct setting to use when viewing a message which contains, for example, columnar data that was formatted for display by a character mode, rather than graphical, program.
