How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 57.2 KB

These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

  • READMAIL.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 228.3 KB

No need to put READMAIL.HLP, READMAIL.DOC: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 57.2 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy READMAIL.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

The author's instructions
- NO SETUP REQUIRED! ReadMail will assume defaults and only ask for setup
  information if really necessary. If you still need to make changes to
  setup, you can access all information from within the program. There is
  no need to hassle with external .INI files.

- ReadMail can read mail in almost any format available. If your mail format
  is not yet supported, you can easily set up a new header definition so
  you can read your mail anyway. Also read news packages, at this moment
  SOUP is the only supported news format.

- Offline mailer support: ReadMail supports a several ways of composing
  offline mail. Either create a new file for each message (you choose the
  filename), call an external program that processes the message or store
  the message in SOUP format. The header format of outgoing mail is fully
  customizable.

- Unique open digest feature: do you receive digest mail with many concatenated
  messages in it? (usually Internet RFC1153 format) -> ReadMail can open a
  new window and present all articles in the digest message. It is then even
  possible to reply to or forward an individual message from the digest!

- Manage multiple signatures! Just create a file with all your sigs in it,
  prefix each sig with a ">DESCRIPTION: <description goes here>" line and
  ReadMail will let you pick a signature from a list! Optionally ReadMail
  can pick a random signature each time.

- Write combined replies: Ever wanted to send a reply in which you quote
  multiple message bodies? With ReadMail you can.

- Support for threads: either based on subject or on sender, it depends on
  what you sort on. ReadMail does not thread on message Id's.

- A number of predefined color sets, choose your favorite one, or modify
  the colors the way you want them.

Send to my palmtop

The palmtop must be waiting before you press the button, or the transfer will fail. It is the palmtop that announces it is ready, not the other way round.
