I know that golded does temporary       local backup writes of the open message for edit. The unsaved message is       placed in the file golded.msg. If golded crashes with a 10k unsaved message it       would call out "unfinished mail found" when you create a new message and the       10k-x text of the unsaved message is still there.              That's why i think the real write access time to the msgbase is very short. On       the other hand the question is what the tosser would do on a locked msgarea.       Wait for access? Skip? Where is the skipped mail? Still in the pkt? In some       temp spools? In the badmail area?              Regards              Kai              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.4.7        * Origin: Monobox (2:240/77)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 452 664 700 1016 1017 240/77 2100 5138 5411       SEEN-BY: 240/5824 5832 5853 6309 249/206 317 400 280/464 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 633/280       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 240/77 5832 229/426           |
