Compose Preferences

	This window allows you to define several items unique to
message composition and delivery. 

	Selecting Accept applies the current values to the current
Compose Window. It does not affect any other windows. Selecting Save
saves the current values in your Preferences file, which then are
applied to all outgoing messages in the future. Dismiss closes the
window and discards any changes you have made.


Mail Delivery Server
	The name of the server which will deliver your e-mail
messages. If in doubt, "localhost" is usually a valid option, and will
deliver via the local delivery system. You may wish to instead send 
through your Internet Service Provider's or mail server's SMTP service. 

News Delivery Server
	This is the name of the machine which will deliver news
messages. It should be set to a valid NNTP server. 

Default Address Domain
	When you enter an address with no hostname component, the
program will fill it in using the value supplied here. By default, it
will be set to the name of the Mail Delivery Server. Many
organizations define a "mail domain" name which applies to all members
of the organization, and which is not attached to a physical
machine. If your organization uses such a naming scheme, enter the
appropriate domain name here.

My Return Address
	By default, your return address on outgoing messages is set to
your account name on the machine running this program. You may wish
instead for such mail to get routed to your organization's primary
mail server. Enter your "official" mail address here, if that is the
case.

Signature File
	The name of the file (relative to your home directory on the
system running this program), which contains your "signature", usually
a few lines giving yout organization, title, or other information.
	This file is not included in the message by default, but you
may specifically add it before sending the message via the "Send"
menu.

Fcc: Mailbox Name
	The name of the mailbox to log outgoing messages, if you have
this option enabled. This mailbox is located on the local system
unless you prefix it with the name of a known configuration pointing to an
IMAP server followed by a colon. Example:
	podunk:+OUTBOX
Appends the message to the file OUTBOX located in your default folder
on the IMAP server identified by the configuration name "podunk".

Default Cc: Address
	An address or addresses to add to all outgoing
messages. Usually used to automatically include a copy to yourself of
all outgoing mail. 

Default Bcc: Address
	An address or addresses to add to the Bcc: field of all
outgoing messages. In some cases, this may be set to an archive file
on the Mail Delivery Server, which is another means of logging
outgoing messages besides the Fcc: Mailbox. 

Default Character Set
	In Europe or other places which use a richer character set
than US-ASCII (i.e. accented characters), use this to define an
alternate character set such as ISO-8859-1. If your message does not
contain any such accented characters, this setting will be ignored.

Default Language
	It is usually not neccessary to supply this. If you have such
needs, you will know what to set it to. 


		Option Toggles

Verbose Delivery
	When this is set, the transactions with the delivery mail
system are logged to the System Messages Window. This sometimes lets
you ascertain which address failed in a long list of recipients.

Keep Window Open
	By default, when a message is successfully delivered, the
Compose Window is closed, and the message removed from memory. Setting
this allows you to use the same message over again, and make minor
changes in order to send almost the same message to other addresses.

8-bit Transport
	This tells the program that you are able to use extended mail
delivery service, and do not need to encode outgoing messages which
contain accented characters. Do not use this in the U.S. At delivery
time, the program will check that this service is indeed available,
and will fall back to the normal transport (and encode any message
contents appropriately) if it is not.

Word Wrap Editor
	By default the message text editor is word-wrapped, so that
long lines will automatically be "folded" at word boundaries. If you
turn this off, it is possible to send longer lines of text, but means
you must press [return] at the end of each line. Caution is advised
when using this, as many recipients will not be able to read messages
containing lines of more than 80 characters. However, this may be the
only means of entering a long e-mail address to a mail-based list
server without breaking it up.

Log to Fcc: Mailbox
	If you have defined an Fcc: Mailbox, this enables or disables
the logging of outgoing message to it.

Log Attachments
	By default, only your text message and headers are logged to
the Fcc: Mailbox. This allows you to log all outgoing attachments as
well, but may cause problems if your disk space is limited.
