Sorry about the first message. The formatting got messed up.
How can I set how far back the update command will look at messages.
The "update" seems to only look at up to 4 days old messages. Here is
what CUI displays: CUI> update drafts Looking for new mail in
~/Mailbox No new messages in ~/Mailbox Checking drafts ... First
time updating /u/mag/.MESSAGES/drafts Starting with messages from 4
days ago. . . No new messages.
I would also like to set it, so the update command will look at all the
messages in given folder. Regardless of the date. Is there anyway to
stop "messages" from reading mail automatically?, when it's first
executed.
I have set in the /AndrewSetup file; AMS_UseShortFileNames;yes (In order
to have filenames under 14 characters long). However, this does not
seem to apply to the CKP files written while checkpointing. So, in my
home directory I have a bunch of CKP files which never dissapear. Is
this how it's suppose to work?. Should CKP files be deleted once you
quit out of the application?
Where can I find documentation on flags for messages, and how do I use
these flags with the "messages" interface?.( I have already looked at
all the cui help files).
How does one set "urgent" for a message, using the "messages" interface?
Thanks!!
