                    Tiny Mail 1.8 Configuration File
                    --------------------------------

This is a sample configuration file for TinyMail. Each line that
contains an equal sign in this file will be interpreted (line-by-line)
by the Rexx Interpreter. Some examples in this document will have /* and
*/ marks around them. This is the comment character for Rexx, and
whatever is inside those marks are ignored.

Any assignment statement put into this file will be used by TinyMail
provided that the variable that you put is one that is actually used by
the code. All possible variables are listed in this configuration file.

Placing the values in this file, rather than in MAIL.CMD will enable you
to upgrade to a new version of MAIL.CMD effortlessly.

This file can be placed anywhere that is pointed by your PATH, DPATH or
the ETC environmental variables. I will indent the comments to make the
file more readable:

     The internet network address of your OS/2 PC:

g.myself = 'turgut@earn-ps.circe.fr'

     The signature file to be appended to each outgoing mail. You can
     make this a blank assignment to disable this feature.

g.signature = tcp'\signatur.txt'

     Number of displayable lines on your screen, minus 4.
     This is no longer necessary - it is normally calculated via
     a system call. Thus, it is commented out:
/* g.screensize = 20    */

     Should the program use SysCLS to clear screen when starting a new
     mail, or while displaying the old one? If set to 0, the information
     will scroll instead of on a new page.

g.UseCLS = 1

     Name of your NAMES file. This file contains nicknames for people
     that you exchange mail often. If specified, the program will try to
     resolve all addresses that contain no '@' sign.

g.namefile = tcp'\turgut.nam'

     If you omit a trailing internet domain name, like if you enter
        MAIL TURGUT@FRMOP11
     what should the program append at the end?

g.defaultdomain = '.BITNET'

     The following two are "guessed" by the system based on your ETC
     environmental variable. If it is not correct, you may alter the
     setting to change it:

g.etcdir = tcp'\ETC' /* location of \tcpip\etc directory, with drive */
g.bindir = tcp'\BIN' /* location of \tcpip\bin directory, with drive */

     If the built-in editor is too limiting, you can specify an
     alternative editor's name here. Each time you need to write a
     message, this editor will be called:

g.editor = '' /* you may specify an external editor, like:      */
              /*     g.editor = 'E.EXE'                         */


     The following parameter specifies if sendmail should be run
     'detached' meaning, in the background. If '1', you will not see any
     delivery errors, but you will not have to wait for the delivery. If
     0, MAIL will resume its activity quickly, and mail delivery will be
     done in the background.

g.detachSendmail = 0

     If the built-in viewer (OS/2's TYPE command) is not enough, you can
     specify some other program that can do the displaying of your
     messages:

g.displayAgent = ''  /* you may specify an external displayer like:  */
                     /*     g.DisplayAgent = 'LIST.EXE'              */

     Filename of the file where the messages you write will be appended.
     This file continually grows - as you write replies to people. For
     HPFS, you may use something like 'All.Notebook', but for FAT,
     you need to specify something else. How about Outgoing.Not?

     If you assign g.AllNotebook to blank, meaning '', your OUTGOING
     mail will NOT be logged anywhere.

g.AllNotebook = 'Outgoing.not'

     The program uses a number of temporary files. This is the name that
     will be used for it.

g.OutFile = 'C:\Mailout.fil'

     Additional RFC822 Header Items. They will be appeneded to the top
     of the mail message before delivery. They must be RFC822
     compatible. Here are some examples. Note that they are disabled
     currently.

/* g.Header.1 = 'Organization: EARN Association'        */
/* g.Header.2 = 'X-Favorite-Food: Haagen-Dazs'          */
/* g.Header.3 = 'Reply-To:       turgut@trearn.bitnet'  */

This concludes the parameter settings for Tiny Mail 1.8. There may be
additional parameters added to the next versions of TinyMail, so make
sure to check the documentation, and/or the beginning of MAIL.CMD file.
