Note: Each topic indicator (n or ^) containing unread messages flashes until the messages for that topic have been read. Because there can be more than eight topics per super maildrop, the topic list continuation indicator/s (k or l or both) will also flash if there are unread messages in topics either above or below the currently displayed screen.

Press x or w until the topic you want is at the top of the list.

￿

If the selected super maildrop has history capability, continue with step 4. If

 

 

the super maildrop does not have history capability, skip to step 6.

￿

Press u to display a list of all messages received for this topic as shown in

the example. The most recently received message is displayed first (K),

 

followed by the list of history messages (U).

Message History List example

Note: Each message indicator (K or U) flashes until it has been read.

If [ is pointing to the message you want to read, go to Step 6. Otherwise, ￿press x or w until the message you want is at the top of the list.

￿ ￿

￿ ￿

Press u to display the first full screen of message text. If a continuation indicator is displayed (l), the message continues beyond the current screen. Reading the rest of a super maildrop message is the same as reading a personal message.

When you have finished reading the message and if the super maildrop has history capability, press u until the message history list is displayed. To read another message from this same topic, repeat Steps 4 through 6.

If the super maildrop does not have history capability, then press u until the super maildrop topic list is displayed. To read another topic, repeat Steps 3 to 6.

When you have finished reading all of the messages, press x until the Status screen is displayed.

Note: To save a super maildrop message, move it to a folder. For more information, see “Moving Messages to Folders” on page 38.

To read messages in other super maildrops (each indicated by a flashing I or b on the Status screen), press v and/or s until the super maildrop is highlighted (G or @). Perform Steps 2 through 8 to read messages in the selected super maildrop.

Turning the Alert for a Super Maildrop On and Off

Turning an alert on or off for a super maildrop is the same procedure as for a maildrop (see page 20), except for the screen indicators.

￿

Make sure the super maildrop (I or b) you want is highlighted (G or @).

See page 20 for the beginning of the maildrop alert procedures. When you

￿

have finished, the super maildrop indicator is either G (alert off) or @ (alert

 

on).

Turning the Alert for a Specific Topic On and Off

Topic alerts can be turned on only if the entire super maildrop is alert-enabled. After assigning a unique alert to the super maildrop, that same alert is used for each alert-enabled topic within that super maildrop. Turning an alert on or off for a topic is the same procedure as for a maildrop alert.

￿

Make sure the topic list is displayed and the topic you want (^ or n) is at the

top of the list.

 

￿

See page 20 for the beginning of the maildrop alert procedures. When you

have finished, the topic indicator is either ^ (alert off) or n (alert on).
