binary messages.

readmsginc

The value by which the Reading in folder, message: counter is

 

incremented while reading a new folder. If you set this value to a number

 

larger than one, it will speed up the time it takes to read a large folder

 

when you are using a slow terminal. The default is 1.

The time in seconds that elm will wait after displaying a diagnostic mes-

 

sage before erasing it. The value can be 0 or a positive integer. The

 

default is 2.

timeout

The interval, in seconds, after which elm rechecks the incoming mailbox

 

for new mail. The default is 600 (10 minutes).

userlevel

The relative level of your user sophistication. Acceptable values are:

 

0

Novice user (the default). Command menus are a small verbose sub-

 

 

set of the available commands.

subset of the available commands. Outbound message commands

 

 

allow you to recover previously unsent messages as the text of the

 

 

current outbound message.

 

2

Expert. The features are the same as for 1.

 

Level 1 or 2 is required if you want to send a forms message.
