DISCUSSION AND WISHLIST RE SEND MAIL AND GET MAIL. I have set up my own personal control page to include the buttons Send Mail and Get Mail.
I click on one of these buttons and the respective operation SMPT: or POP3: takes place. Meanwhile I am looking at my own page as the mail is up or downloaded. But as soon as the Send or Get is finished, I am transferred to either the (now empty) Outbox or to the Inbox. And that prompts a question: What earthly use is it to be presented with the empty Outbox once the SMPT: function has finished uploading the mail, other than to show you that all the mail has been uploaded? And surely if the upload was aborted for any reason there would be an error message to that effect. But here is where I have problems: After an up or download of mail, the temptation is to press Esc (equivalent to the Back button) to get back to my personal page, but of course this takes me to the SMPT: or the POP3: function, which tries to send or get mail again, even though there isn't any left to send or get. My first preference would be that once SMPT: or POP3: function is finished, the user should be left on the screen that the function was called from. My second preference is that the SMPT: or POP3: should NOT be able to be recalled by the Back button. If this means they shouldn't appear in the HISTORY.LST then that's fine by me. from Greg Mayman, in Adelaide, South Australia "Queen City of the South" 34:55S 138:36E http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/greg_mayman/default.htm -- Arachne V1.71;UE01, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
