The Mail Window

The Mail window appears when you click the Mail button in either the browser or the News program, or when you launch GNN Messenger from the Windows Program Manager.

The Mail window has four areas: the Status pane, the Index pane, the Message pane, and the Status bar. You can size the panes using standard Windows practices.

Illlustration of the Mail Window

Status Pane

The Status pane lists the number of messages in the current message box, the number of unread messages, the number of read messages, the time until the next delivery, and the sorting order.

Index Pane

The Index pane contains a summary of the messages in the current message box, including the date you received them, who sent them, the subject of the message, and the status of the message (read, unread, marked for deletion). If you want the index entries to appear larger, choose Index Font from the Options menu. You can also print the list of Index entries.

Message Pane

The Message pane displays the contents of the selected message. You can use the scroll bars to scroll long messages. If you want the text to appear larger, choose Message Font from the Options menu.

Status Bar

The Status bar contains most of the information listed in the Status pane. The Status bar fields contain, in order: the status message, number of messages, number of read messages, number of unread messages, number of messages to be deleted when you exit GNN Messenger, and the secondary box. If you only want to view the Status bar, you can turn off the view of the Status pane. The Status bar also displays a progress indicator when you download or send messages. The default color of the status indicator is red when receiving messages, and blue when sending messages.

Using the Color Selection dialogs, you can change the colors used for Read and Unread messages.

You can scroll through the Index pane using the Next and Previous buttons in the toolbar or the up and down arrow keys.

You can display only the newsgroups you subscribe to, only the newsgroups that have been added since the last time you displayed all newsgroups, or all newsgroups presently available. By default, there are five newsgroups on the subscription list. The Message index displays the message headers downloaded to your In Box, including the date they were posted, the sender, the subject, and the status of the message (read, unread, or marked for deletion).

How to Download a File


The Home Page

The home page is the document that appears in the GNNWorks window when you launch the program. It is your starting point for navigating the Internet, listing topics that you can explore further. Each topic is a hypertext link or hotspot to a file that contains additional hotspots to related information.

How hotspots work

The cursor changes to a hand when you position it over a hotspot. The window Status bar displays the filename of the hotspot and its Internet location, if it is a remote document.

Click a hotspot to download the document it represents. The underline or border color of the hotspot changes color when you click on it. The GNNWorks title bar displays the Internet site and filename while it is downloading.

The Status bar displays a progress indicator while the document downloads. The logo to the right of the toolbar is active while any document is downloading.

You can read the document as it is downloading, and click hotspots to download other documents simultaneously.

To cancel downloading a file, click the Cancel button in the toolbar.

How to Download a File


How to Download a File

1.	Specify a protocol or server type by clicking on the appropriate protocol specifier button above the document window.

WWW

Gopher

FTP

The protocol specifier for the server type you selected appears in the URL field.

News maintains newsgroup postings in a hierarchical structure.

Mail opens the Send Mail window.

2.	In the URL field, type the content specifier (the remainder of the URL).

You can specify the host in a URL by Domain name or by IP address. For example, you might specify an FTP URL as ftp://host/path or as ftp://0.0.0.0/path. (If you do not type in a path, you connect to the top level of the server.)

3.	Press Enter.

If you type a protocol specifier in the URL field, that overrides any protocol selected with a protocol specifier button. You must type the protocol specifier in lowercase letters.

To specify a local or network drive in a URL, type the drive letter in uppercase. Otherwise, it may be interpreted as an FTP URL, since some scheme addresses include colons in their name.

Note

To cancel the downloading of a document, click the Cancel button in the toolbar.
