- Preview message when selected
When this option is set, any message that gets selected in the list of messages
will get pre-viewed automatically. If using a modem connection, it makes sense
to disable it, so messages will only get loaded and pre-viewed when double-clicked
upon or when the 'V' key is pressed. By default, this is enabled, so that clicking
on a message or pressing the spacebar to select it, will also pre-view it.
- Font family, font size, foreground colour, background colour, colour
for URLs, colour for header names, colour for header values
These settings control the appearance of messages in the message viewer window.
Mahogany will detect URLs embedded in messages and by using a different colour
for them, can highlight them. When the user clicks on a URL, it will be opened
in an external browser.
- Inline graphics
If enabled, Mahogany will display images included as MIME content in the message
window. If disabled, images will be represented by a filetype icon like any
other MIME content.
- Conversion graphics format
Mahogany uses an external conversion program (1.7.2) for image
formats which it does not support natively. Here you can chose one of the natively
supported formats to use for the conversion. At present, the most reliable format
appears to be XPM. If configured properly and all libraries are available, Mahogany
should support XPM, PNG, JPEG and BMP. Notice that XPM files are extremely large,
so you might want to change this setting to one of the other formats.
- Support special fax mailers
This enables support for domains sending faxes by email, such as the EFAX
fax to email gateway. Faxes are sent as MIME attachments and need treatment
different from normal images.
- Domains sending faxes
This is a colon-separated list of domains sending faxes. All IMAGE/TIFF or APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM
MIME content in mails coming from these domains will be treated as TIFF-G3 faxes.
Note that the strings in this field do not need to be real domain names but
are substrings looked for in the sender's email address.
- Maximum size of message
If you attempt to view a message larger than this limit, Mahogany will prompt
you for confirmation. This is to prevent you from accidentally downloading large
messages over a slow remote connection. Setting it to 0 will disable this. The
limit is not applied to mailfolder files.
- Maximum number of messages
If you open a folder with more than this limit of messages, Mahogany will ask
you whether you want to limit the amount of messages downloaded (or partially
downloaded). Again, this is to prevent you from accidentally downloading huge
numbers of messages over a slow remote connection. Setting it to 0 disables
this. It does not apply to mailfolder files. Also, for NNTP connections, this
might be triggered although there could be less messages in the newsgroup, as
at the time of testing the number of unread messages is not know yet.
- Configure headers to show
This allows you to chose from a list of the most commonly viewed header lines,
which you would like to display together with the message contents. By default,
To:, From:, Subject: and Date: are shown. Note that you can always view the
complete header information or the raw message text, no matter what you chose
here.
- Configure Date Format
This will pop up a sub-dialog (1.7.4) for setting the format
for displaying dates.
