Copying a message to another user
The message management program supports drag and drop copying of messages from the log to a
users mailbox. Press and hold down the left mouse button whilst pointing to a log member, then drag
the item to a visible tree member. The destination tree member will highlight as you drag over it (note
that you can only drag and drop messages to user level, not to companies, divisions or departments).
When the desired destination mailbox is highlighted, release the mouse button. The message has
now been copied to the users mailbox.

Setting Preferences

The preferences dialog is accessible from the options menu.
Screen Update Interval
When a queue log is displayed, it is useful to be able to watch the status of messages change in real
time, without having to press the Refresh Screen button. A value between 10 and 300 seconds can
be specified here to perform an automatic status update for the displayed log members. This value
should normally be set to a minimum of 60 seconds to avoid excess processor overhead on your
Telex/Fax/400 host system.
Auto Re-query Interval
Going a stage further than the above, it is sometimes useful to watch messages come and go from
the queue for queue monitoring purposes. A value greater than zero will enable the log to be re-
downloaded automatically. Please note that this function should not be used unless necessary since it
can cause delays for other users of the system.
Start-up Log
This specifies the log that will be displayed on initial start-up of the message management program.
Download Log Automatically
With this option checked, the log will be downloaded automatically whenever a new tree member is
selected, or the selection criteria is changed. Without this option checked, it will be necessary to click
the Refresh Log button.
View Text Messages in Notepad
With this option checked on, any messages which have no graphical element will be displayed in
Notepad. If this option is not checked, then all messages will be displayed using Imaging for
Windows.
