ure if it is the MC (Check e-mail) or the MQ (Message quick scan) tha
tcatches netmail messages, but I use the following in my pre
login menu to replace the stock message scanning there (NOT
E that I have inserted a spaceafter each pipe to avoid Mysti
c from parsing those here):1. Command
: (MC) Check e-mailData: /UNREAD2
. Command: (GT) Display line of textData: | CL| 01[| 10■|
01] | 09Scanning for new personal messages...| DE| CR|CR
3. Command: (MQ) Messa
ge quick scanData: /NOSCAN /NO
FOOT /NEW /YOU /LIST /NOREAD
4. Command: (-R) Reset
OK ACS flagsData: 0
5. Command: (GT) Display line of tex
tData: | CL| 01[| 10
■| 01] | 09There are no new messag
es.| DE| DE| CRAccess
: !OY6. Command:
(-Y) Ask Yes/No (
default Yes)Data: |
CR| 01[| 10■| 01] | 09
You have | 11| &3 | 09n
ew personal message(s):Read now
? | 11Access: OY
7. Command: (MN) Message new sc
anData: /P /GAcces
s: OKThis also has the advantage that
it does not show any e-mails (privatem
essages) unless there are some new ones, as opp
osed to the default whichalways shows all e-mails
(private messages) regardless of whether ther
e areany unread ones or not.I
have also changed the personalscan menu (the one which
is called whenhitting (G) Global
Personal Scan from the message menu) to u
se steps 2-7 forthe message scanning
, so that it acts similarly.H
ope this helps! =)Best regards
