      MSGID: 2:221/1.58 4ba8b185       CHRS: IBMPC 2       TZUTC: 0400       REPLY: 2:250/1.1 4b758909       Hello Martin,                      AA>> In das adressbuch aufnehman         AA>> In mailboxen aufnehman               AA>> The 2nd one places the name + zon:net/node number in my list of        AA>> contacts. Very handy.               MF> Errrrrrrm, it's the first one that does that :-))                     SORRY.. I *did* mean to type "1st" one. When I am constructing a message, I       often rearrange my sentences and paragraphs. And, in this case, after I moved       things around I forgot to check if anything else needed a correction.              I'm just not used to the mono-spacing that Winpoint insists upon in the editor       window. Everything is just too W-I-D-E and spread out. I am still       experimenting with different fonts that might look better.                      AA>> But what does "mailboxen aufnehman" (mailbox pickup) actually do?        MF> Adds the selected system to your mailboxes.        MF> Add to mailboxes              ..But what *is* that? What "pickup"? Is it the POLL list? I know what the       Contacts are.                      MF> Look in "Extras/Uplinks" and you should see a new entry in the "Systems"        MF> pane. Click the "Properties" button..              Ah.. eureka. I wondered why that was adding new uplinks! So, that's it.                      MF> I'd never seen this feature before you mentioned it but..        MF> Wow, this thing just gets better and better :-))              Yes.. this provides access to multiple "other-nets" Perhaps the German for       the term "mailboxes" has different understanding. For me, a mailbox is       something for RECEIVING mail, not POLLing (as in going out).                        MF> Many thanks for finding and reporting this. Regards, Martin              Well.. it was a fluke, kind of.                     ../|ug              --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Reluctantly Revisiting Fidonet (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107 426       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/624 854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
