NetMail/3000 Menu Interface
Users Guide
After you have selected the encoding (for any value other than “NONE”) you will be pre- sented with the “Emulator” field.
The “ Emulator” selections are only relevant if you are attaching an HP3000 (non text) file. For any other file type, use the default of “None”. For HP3000 files, NetMail/3000 must add special “characteristics” of the file - information that is unique to HP3000s - but must be pre- served to transport (and reconstruct) the attachment on another system. The characteristics need to me coded into the attachment in some uniform way so as to allow a recipient on another HP3000 system to be able to reconstruct the file just as it appeared when you attach it (filecode, end of file, record size, user labels, etc.) To do this, we utilize the formats of the popular PC terminal emula- tors - WRQ’s Reflection “LABELLED” format and Unison Software’s “BACKUP” format. If you are sending to another NetMail/3000 user, either format is fine, though WRQ’s format handles more filetypes. If you are sending to another mail system, you may want to pick the format that might match the emulator package they have available at that site so they can use it to recreate the attached file. Use the arrow keys to highlight the selection you want, then hit “RETURN”.
You will then be allowed to approve the attachment before it is actually performed by selecting the “ OK” field on the screen, or you can “ CANCEL” that attachment and be
prompted for another. When you are done attaching files, you skip over the filename field (hit “RETURN” at that field) and you will be allowed to end the prompting for file attachments by
